Is it "ok" to go in to a "breastaurant" in uniform?

For the Army AR 670-1 Ch 4 para 4-3 c.(2)
"Personnel may not wear the combat uniform in off-post establishments that primarily sell alcohol. If the off-post establishment sells alcohol and food, Soldiers may not wear the combat uniform if their activities in the establishment center on the drinking of alcohol."

Additionally, service members in the combat uniform will not sit at the bar
area of a restaurant where the primary purpose of the bar is the selling of alcohol.

Hooters is a restaurant, you can't ban service members from a run of the mill eating establishments without applicable reasoning. I don't particularly eat at Hooters or 'breastaurants". However if I was in invited to eat their by a friend and they're paying for everything, damn skippy I'll be there. I don't turn down free food!

EDIT:
***For clarification, I have never ate at such an establishment while in uniform during duty/off duty hours. For me it projects the wrong image. You might have caught me at a Golden Corral or at Chipotople for lunch but not a place like Hooters.

Okay. I've added this to my vocabulary, TSgt Joshua Copeland, and my list for future business plans. Thanks.

NO, IT IS NOT OK TO EAT AT A “BREASTAURANT” WHILE IN UNIFORM.
Reasons why:
1. It is arguably a violation of Army Regulation 670-1, that expressly forbids eating in an establishment in uniform where the primary activity is drinking. You can eat there, you can even have a beer, but if your activity is to drink beer and ogle, you are wrong.
2. Perception. A whole lot of people will take notice that a uniformed Soldier – we do stick out – is patronizing an establishment of this type. This brings potential discredit to the uniformed service, and as such is wrong.
3. It is hard for me to imagine that this was a pit stop “to and from” military duty. If you are not performing a military duty, you shouldn’t generally be in uniform. See #2.

I am not here to legislate your morality, but by God if you bring discredit upon my unit due to your determination to do something that is questionable at best, I have a spate of quality corrective training to help you get your head screwed on straight.

I'm going to say no. If it is commonly referred to as a "breast"aurant...I think common sense prevails here. Put any inappropriate workplace conversation noun in the front of "aurant" and you should come to the same conclusion.

Even if SMs are technically able to wear their uniforms to a place like Hooters, they absolutely should not. No way.

What I want to really know, is how come there aren't restaurants where male servers run around in ranger panties serving food? I'd be there everyday.

We represent our Service and our Country, and I do not feel that it is in good taste. Do I have a problem with those establishments no, but the issue is the perception from the public seeing a service member or for that matter any uniformed public service member in those establishments.

If you wouldn't take your Grandmother/Mother-in-law/daughter to eat there, you probably shouldn't be wearing your uniform there, regardless of how good the cherry pie is.

I don't care if the public doesn't want to see mil members at these establishments. I don't care if these members want some food while pretty girls serve it to them. As long as the soldier is behaving him/herself in public, who are we to take away more from them. I know we are held to a higher standard. So do they. So does everyone. That's why this is even coming up. If two soldiers were being harassed at hooters by a group and they stood up bravely to defend themselves, which led into an altercation, they would receive an article 15 and leadership would try to push them out of the army. We ask these soldiers to be brave, we tell these soldiers to be proud, we teach these soldiers to fight for what's right, we demand these soldiers to be cowards when they are pushed to their limits. This is a true story. Two soldiers were at hooters. A group of drunk belligerent men started talking smack to them because one of the waitreses was giving more attention to these guys. The waitress happened to be married to one of them. The soldiers were not drinking. The belligerent men approached and started taunting them. The two soldiers ended up fighting those guys. Cops came and released the soldiers to their command. They were not even charged. The military leaders thought these soldiers were representing the Amy in a bad manner and punished them for it. I seriously don't get it. I want these kids to be honest and honorable and brave. Yet they can't stand up when a drunk wants to call them names and physical push them. Did we really want them to turn the other cheek?

I wouldn't, but then again I don't go to places like that for personal reasons. I am married and have daughters, no one is as sexy as my Wife nor as precious as my girls. Another reason I don't go is "But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
