Re: Put your money where your mouth is
They're allowed to put on dress uniforms or whatever - but who the fuck's going to do that? If you're changing at the end of the day to run to the store or teh bar on teh way home I sure wouldn't want to put on a fucking suit.

Re: Put your money where your mouth is
Counterpoint: The vast majority of the former and current military men (and a couple of women) I've discussed the matter with anonymooosly on the interwebs just don't care and say it's no big deal. I think it sucks balls personally, and I agree w/ Chikkin that people need to see them out and about, but hopefully they don't see it as a poke in the eye. |

Re: Put your money where your mouth is
You're right, I made that up just to piss you off. I'm sure there are areas where it's more strictly enforced than others. I have certainly noticed a marked decrease around here. |

Re: Put your money where your mouth is
Do they wear the camo uniforms around town or only the more formal one?

Re: Put your money where your mouth is
Never was any such rule when I was in, other than don't wear your shit when flying civilian transport, etc. so as to not make yourself a target. Obviously you wouldn't put on a uniform to go to the grocery store on Saturday morning. Oh and no uniforms in bars, unless you're there "to eat."

Re: Put your money where your mouth is
What if you was to swing a dead cat? Also, Mal is making it up because I saw 2 guys in MN today that had on the desert camo. Mal is a BIG FAT LIAR.

Re: Put your money where your mouth is
Oh and the air force doesn't really count. they're like an extension of the DoD civilian workforce.

Re: Put your money where your mouth is
THe last one I posted mentions AF rules about not drinking, eating, smoking or cell phoning while walking in AF uniform. I can't find anything about Army or AF rules specifically, so maybe it's just the Marines, or maybe the AF and others are taking a cue from the Marines and enforcing their existing rules. When were you discharged? THis is pretty recent stuff I think. |

Re: Put your money where your mouth is
DoD civilians fly F-16s now? Hill has a lot of civilian contractor types. Guy next door is some sort of maintenance dude I don't think even wears a uniform (I never see him in one), but the guy a couple doors down I see in cammies going to and from.

Re: Put your money where your mouth is
Dec 06.
It was a joke about fat air force faggos with hands in their pockets and long hair. You wouldn't understand. Also the navy flies more planes than the air force. The idea was brought up recently in congress to eliminate the air force. They really are just a massive consumer of defense spending compared to what they actually offer. |
