	You are welcome to add your own items of clothing as long as your ~~hat and~~ shirt ~~(and jacket, if you’re wearing one)~~ are ~~khaki-colored and display the Ranger logo~~. Long-sleeved shirts provide protection from the sun during the day and additional covering for warmth at night. Pockets that have button or zipper closures will carry smaller items safely. Cotton clothing is comfortable and durable. If you are wearing a backpack or hydration pack, you are encouraged to modify it to display a Ranger logo when viewed from behind.

	Occasionally, a Ranger will need to go off duty during a shift due to illness, physical exhaustion, or other causes. If you need to go off duty before your shift time has ended, contact Khaki. If you have completed your shift and still have the Art of Rangering flowing through your heart, you may volunteer to stay on duty. If you do, your extra level of commitment is appreciated. Tell the Khaki your specific time commitment so he or she can plan accordingly. Be sure to let Khaki know when you have gone off shift.
