Had an interesting moment where in a soldier had me direct dial his BN CMD while correcting him about him wearing black lipstick, earrings, finger jewlery and ripped pants.
The CMD informed me I needed to read the regulations, which I have done so.
As far as I've read and know, there has been no update that allows male soldiers to wear this off-duty while on post.

Ok let's stop right their! I'm all for flaming individuals and their rights and your personal choice! A lot of these individuals make outstanding soldiers! But NO! I do not agree when a female soldier off duty on base dresses like a $2 hooker! And I do not agree that a male dresses like the damn crow with no hair!
I hate to be controversial, but the buck has to stop somewhere! if your going to a crazy club where you dress like this then ok that's one thing. But save the on base costumes for Halloween and Mardi Graw if your stationed out that way!
Uniformity is a time honored tradition! Your part of legacy! You should be honored to be a part of.
Just my thoughts on this subject!

SFC (Join to see) - I don't get your security clearance reference. I was in the Army Security Agency (ASA), later Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM). I held TS SCI access my entire 20 year career. At one time or another I was given access to most SCI projects. I was never not allowed to drink or take OTC drugs. In fact, ASA troops were heavy drinkers and big party people. Please explain, I retired in 1994 have things changed that much?

even though i feel personally about the right to freedom of expression, when we joined, we voluntarily agreed to submit to a common set of rules . those who were involuntarily 'joined' naturally did not agree to that mindset, and i feel for them, but that army was a 'long' time ago .

Sometimes, I really wonder why individuals join a team organization which requires uniformaty, customs, and structured rules since the 1800's. That, they think that some of the infractions are ok and question you or make you the bad guy because you have intergrity to pump the brakes. There is other terminology I want to use but this is not the place, so I will conclude with YIKES!!!! So not ok by any means. Hopefully, others will post a more educated reply. Good Luck

We should remember that as you were whisked through the processing center you did hold up your hand and adhere to the constitution and rules and regulations of superior officers. While I believe young soldiers should have a word or two about this issue, they must be given time to gain the experience to discuss this rationally. I am so very tired of the quick retort or snappy remark that show you take no honest effort to understand the issue or thoughtfully respond.

Gay culture has no place and feminine culture has very little place in the American military
culture. The necessary psyche for nat'l defense is a tough and masculine one. Men took Normandy and Fallujah - not human beings or dedicated persons or trusting team members - men, with training, won these and other similar battles.
He basically said bull dykes shoudl enlist and women should not.
You need to learn how to fucking read before you start running off at the fucking mouth.

It certainly is not the military I served in that why I got out in 82 when all this shit started.

When you got out this stuff had already been happening. First Line supervisors ignored it, and commands said they less I know the better. The military is constantly changing, and our military tries to change tactics, strategy and leadership. If you don't you end up on the dustbin of history
