Aside from line units or motor pools (or any other physical-type duty), should the Army move to a more professional uniform for daily duties?

If we're truly trying to more to a more professional looking group, (hairstyles, tattoos, etc.) why not go to the Class B/Tropical uniform on a daily basis?

Dangit, SSG Robert Burns! You're tempting me to violate one of my fundamental rules: Don't stand next to or share a foxhole with somebody who keeps getting shot at.

Maybe if you sit in an office all day, sure why not.

HQ's, Staff Elements, Pentagon, YES! Line units no. But they should be worn at least once a month regardless of where you work.

It would definitely give a nod to the past routines of the Army. I think it might raise discipline. All for it.

I completely agree. If not for everyday duty, can we please stop allowing Soldiers to attend public functions in ACU's?

It all comes down to the job...and...how much of a public image units want to maintain.
Back in the mid 70's I was with American Forces Network Europe and don't recall wearing 'fatigues' except for once-a-year visits to the range. It was A's or B's every day unless you were in engineering.

I was a military dependent, and now work in the Civilian Govt Sector. Our Uniformed Staff must wear a Dress Uniform (Class B) when in view of the public. They can wear the ACUs (Utility) when working other assignments. The Class B uniform to me is what I would expect to see for public interaction.
