What are your thoughts on pressed and creased uniforms?
At my previous duty stations all SSG and above had pressed and creased uniforms and the few that didn't were generally not competent anyways. I'm not saying that it is indicative of your overall performance whether or not you press your uniform, but from what I have seen is that those that did take pride in their uniform were taking further pride in their work. The way my first NCO laid it out to me was like this "If you look good you feel good, and if you feel good you perform great". I personally take alot of pride in my uniform and that's why I continue to press and crease my uniform.

Just trying to get a feel for who actually irons their ACUs. I am starting to see it more and more especially here in TRADOC land. I do think that some are actually having them commercially pressed, but who knows.
