STANDING ORDERS
IF LOCATED: Do not wash. Do not fold. Do not attempt to wear. Secure the garment in a climate-controlled environment and contact the Division through approved channels. The garment is not dangerous. It is simply important, and there is a difference, and we no longer explain the difference to new recruits because Witness 07 does it better than we ever could.
