exceptions to tradition: the Queen

[xena]

Xena, you can certainly correct me if I'm wrong here, but isn't it also true that exceptions exist if one is involved in activities - such as dancing, athletics, or marching with a band - that might commonly show too much?

As I understand it, all the dancing and athletic organizations actually do require underwear on their contestants.

But, as far as military regulations go - absolutely not. No exceptions. If a uniformed soldier is performing highland dancing, or tossing a caber, well, you just may be getting more than you bargained for.
