It's a f*#!ing uniform. Not part of your damn wardrobe.

. Personally, I often wear my multicam bottoms when hiking and very occasionally at work when my work jeans are dirty

So...

Its ok for you but nobody else?

Maybe he's "ENTITLED".

untucked tan t-shirt, ACU bottoms, and tennis shoes

Sounds like the processing "uniforms" we wore before we were issued complete uniforms and boot camp started for real. Who in their right mind would ever want to look like that?

a fucked up ACU uniform

I admit that people who go out in public dressed as such make me cringe too.

I think the line is where the number of uniform components make it difficult to distinguish the difference between a very poorly worn complete uniform and parts of a uniform worn for work or whatever.

Good point.

Please, don't go around wearing your old uniform like a pair of jeans.

Point is this, folks. It's a UNIFORM. the fact that you at one time served in it doesn't mean you get to parade around in a dicked up version of it. I'm not saying you can't wear a tan unit t and jeans, or go hiking in your multicam bottoms and a normal color t-shirt. Just don't be an asshole with it.

I never served.. So I'm not allowed to wear surplus camo pants?? I think he's right, you are an asshole..

What is the asshole cutoff line?

Where do you work anyway? Don't want to patronize a place where I might get ripped on by the bartender for violating whatever conduct code is in his head at the moment.

End of July I'll hit my 14th year in the US Army. TBH I could give 2 shits how someone wants to wear it ( as long as they don't fall under UCMJ and follow guidelines of 670-1) , flip flops, tied knotted in the front, cut showing shoulders, have a great time with it do what you will. The reason I say this is for one reason, its clothing. Its not the uniform I respect its the people in them, military clothing is just that clothing to protect destroy and replace, I know that's not going to be everyone's opinion but those that fought with me by my side for 3 years of deployments where people not Government issue'd gear.

Serious question here. I have re-read th op several times, and am close to thinking I understand the point he was making. Maybe.

So if the guy had been wearing say, a blue t-shirt, instead of tan, would that have been ok?

If I were the wear my old uniform (at a veterans day parade or something similar), I'd wear it correctly per the regs and in the correct condition. But a pair of BDU pants? I'll wear them for whatever.

A pair of bdu pants is just a damn pair of pants. Nothing magical about them. Even a BDU jacket is just a shirt. I don't wear my old BDU jacket that still has my patches/stripes/insignia on it, but I've got a lot of older bdu jackets that no longer have the patches on them, and I'll wear them whenever and however I please.

Should've shot that punk from 85 yards away.
