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

(Jokingly)

Can I just get the addresses to all these places so I can go in civvies? PLEASE.

LOL!

Yes if you are picking up a to go order...

My question is this - How much time do y'all get for lunch? Are these establishments on base?

If you are in uniform at dinner time, you either work a swing shift, working late or just trying to get a discount or you are trying to get noticed. Not trying to upset anyone but think about it.

This is no longer my military. So glad to be out. I can see the issue with the alcohol & being in uniform. The pretty girls & all, that there is nothing wrong with that. Hooters itself tends to be a very pro-military company. The old Army not only was okay with men's misogyny but many units would bring in male strippers for the female troops. Funny thing is the amount of sexual misconduct wasn't any worse than today's prudish military. My one unit had a dining-in with two women exotic dancers come in. Our BC was a Mormon yet & the dancers were enjoyed by our female soldiers as well. I think today's military has become extremely repressive. No wonder morale is the bottom of the barrel. Years ago we had commands run by religious zealots that saw everything as evil. Today it's the PC movement that make so many things as evil. By the way, I was prude back in my day but I was okay with allowing others to enjoy themselves.

Olongapo...Naples...San Juan...Saigon.. Gulf Juan, Reynolds Ave. Charleston, E Main St. Norfolk, 5th St. San Diego, a whole raft of places in NOLA...
I could go on, and on, and ON
Then again maybe it's a generational thing

Edit= Hell for that matter the 56 club Little Creek, NAB

Yep

Two part answer.

1. You did not specify uniform.
2. Should you be there in a U.S. Government vehicle, especially a tactical vehicle ?

Army is the worst at wearing uniforms to the mall, to restaurants, and basically anywhere where you 100% had time to go home and change before visiting such establishment. I don’t blame the army per se. I blame the fact that the army attracts too many boots and they “demand respect” for their uniform.

When you are hungry and it’s the only place around it doesn’t really matter. Get over it

I remember FONDLY the '56' Club and Chiefs Club, Little Creek, Amphib. Base of the 1960's..
Which makes think this is a generational question...

I think the Marines have the best solution to this question: don't wear your cammies off base. Boom, problem solved. I've never understood why anyone would WANT to continue wearing them out in public anyway. It just screams "thank me for my service". When I was done for the day, I would go straight to my room, change into civilian clothes, and move on with my day.
