2 parts question:

Does your service have a rule against it?
What is your PERSONAL opinion?

What is a "breastaurant"? Places like Hooters, Bikinis, Tilted Kilt, Heart Attack Grill, etc.

Considering the quality of the food served, I don't think that it is a good idea to go into places like "Hooters" at all.

Mind you, back in the dim distant past when I was a 2LT (NOT, as reputed with the XLVII Legion) my appetite was probably different.

If it's OK to go to march in a Gay Pride Parade in Uniform, then on what moral standard do you use to base the decision to go to Hooters? http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-politics/us-armed-forces-color-guard-to-march-in-gay-pride-parade-in-dc-called-a-first-nationwide/2014/06/05/32955202-ec26-11e3-b98c-72cef4a00499_story.html

I say it is not ok to go to a gay pride event in uniform. I do not support the political gay agenda. The gay pride parades here in Seattle are full of blatant sexual conduct and groping. This gay agenda comes from the CIC. The same CIC with all the misconduct happening in his Secret Service during his official travel. If this were a heterosexual pride event with men and women engaging in public groping and sexual acting out it would be prohibited to be in uniform. If you mix in the gay perversion it becomes politically correct and a thing to be celebrated.

So the question is not "is it ok to ______?" but with what Measurement/Standard do we draw the line on conduct in uniform?

Lets start with the height/weight requirements. If you cant even fit into a uniform properly, you don't need to be stuffing your double chins with Hot Wings.

I actually never heard them referred to as breastaurants.

As a previous person posted the Army Regulation that sums it up and of course there is always the commanders discretion and the Armed Forces Disciplinary Control Board aka Off limits control board.

I really do not care if the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, or Marines are abiding by the above regulations, rules, etc...

Been to Hooters twice. Ordered the same as I always do: chicken strip sandwich, fries and tea (I don't like to drink alcohol, sue me). Saw a couple of officers the second time. Nobody seemed to care. My NCOIC once treated my fellow soldiers to a restaurant with a bar. As long as no alcohol comes into the control of a SM in uniform, then what would the problem be?

When I was stationed at MacDill AFB while I was in the Air Force we use to go down to Hooters and would order take out from them on a lot of the Sunday football games. It wasn't until we got a new Wing Commander that he actually signed a policy letter saying we couldn't go while in uniform.

I could'nt see any issues in it either. Strip Club is a big no no. but eating some wings and drinking a beer why not? You can go to a bar in your ASU's , so what the big deal with a little chicken and a bottle of beer?

Honestly it doesn't really matter if your in uniform or not because you can usually pick out who is in the military even in civilian clothes so you will be judged regardless by those that don't approve of certain eating establishments.

PO2 Bruels, I beg to differ. Every base I have been stationed at when I was still in I could go to a restaurant in my civilian attire & still be picked out. Those that live around a military base or work on one can always pick out military personnel & the reason being we carry ourselves differently.

I know the goal of uniform regulations & what there purpose is for. My initial comment is still correct because even if your in your civilian attire even though it doesn't violate uniform regulations your still looked at & or judged differently for the most part because being in the military most civilians hold military personnel to a higher level.
