Yes, but it's important to recognize that /wear/ means /have clothes 
on,/ not /put clothes on./ (It can mean either in English.) *HIp 
vItuQbe'* means I don't have the uniform on, not that I don't put the 
uniform on. *HIp vItuQbe'choH* means the uniform ceases to be on me, not 
that I took it off — though it may be true that I took it off, that's 
not what the sentence says. *HIp vItuQHa'* will probably be interpreted 
as wearing the uniform in a wrong manner ("You're out of uniform!"). I 
don't think it means you have stopped wearing the uniform.
