Alright guys and gals, I'm looking to purchase a pair of jump boots for use with my class As. What does AR 670-1 state on this?

Perhaps if you took your own advice you would know why SGT.

AR 670-1

"23–4. Former members of the Army
a. Unless qualified under another provision of this regulation, or under the provisions of 10 USC 772, former members of the Army may only wear the uniform if they served honorably during a declared or undeclared war, and if their most recent service was terminated under honorable conditions. Personnel who qualify under these conditions will wear the Army uniform in the highest grade they held during such war service, in accordance with 10 USC 772.
b. When authorized, the uniform may be worn only for the following ceremonial occasions and when traveling to and from the event. (1) When attending military funerals, memorial services, weddings, inaugurals, and other occasions of ceremony. (2) When attending parades on national or State holidays, or other patriotic parades or ceremonies in which any active or reserve U.S. military unit is taking part. Uniforms for these occasions are restricted to service and dress uniforms; the combat uniform and physical fitness uniforms will not be worn. Wearing the Army uniform at any other time, or for any other purpose than stated above, is prohibited."

SSG (Join to see) - This is a "professional" online environment, where anyone from a E-1 on up, should feel comfortable asking questions to and receiving answers from, anyone up the rank ladder. Responses like this are why inexperienced junior enlisted personnel would rather listen to a barracks lawyer over asking an NCO. Instead of lecturing, why not just provide the Paragraph reference, WITHOUT the excerpt, so they know where to go, but still have to do the work to find it in the Reg. This will often be more productive, as it will at least get them to open the Regulation, rather than cause them to ignore you, and wait for someone to provide them the full answer.

Aside from that, your initial response was longer than PV2 Yazzie's questions; so by your logic, your time would have been better spent providing the answer.

Don't take any of that personally. It's the same thing I tell my NCOs.

SFC (Join to see) - I understand that this is a professional environment, but you cant tell me that you would send away a PV2 or a PFC that had a question about a certain regulation and made no attempt to look it up themselves. I never approached a forum or even my NCOs with a question until I couldn't find the answer. People in general these days just do not put forth effort to find the answer. The question he asked could have been easily found. That's all that I was stating. If you come to me with a question about a regulation and you don't understand or know where to find the answer after doing your own research, then I would have gladly help.

SSG (Join to see) - I recognize we have different teaching styles. I've used online forums probably as long as you have, and I've always been the type that doesn't mind finding answers for others, and assisting them in learning to find it in the future. In those same forums, there are the direct opposites, who I call, the Search Bar Nazis, who more often than not tend to viciously attack new members who ask a question without having used the Search feature first. They tend to run off new members, and discourage interaction from others. I'm not saying you are the latter, that's just my overall forum experience.

In the Army, I am the same way. I encourage everyone to ask me anything, no matter how stupid they think the question is. Most people in the Army would rather NOT ask a question, for fear of making themselves look stupid in front of their subordinates, peers, or superiors. Like at the end of Sergeants Time Training, when we ask if anyone has questions; we know good and well those Privates and NCOs have questions, but if we aren't approachable, they won't ask, and will fail the tasks. So we have a bunch of fools walking around acting like they are informed, but are afraid to speak up to actually educate themselves. This is what creates Barracks Lawyers. Therefore, I make myself as approachable as possible, because I'd rather have informed Soldiers, than foolish ones who are afraid to ask questions.

Its a matter of preference.

I keep forgetting to check them out. Thanks for responding bro.

PFC Leander Yazzie - no problem.
