An unidentified female Navy Officer, staying at an upscale NYC hotel with family while visiting during Fleet Week festivities last week was taken aback when her group was stopped by bouncers and prevented from entering the hotel's bar one evening. At first, nobody could figure it out, everyone was dressed in professional attire; until the bouncer's indicated that the Officer's Class A Uniform did not fit it's criteria for female dress, and they weren't backing down. How about it? How would you address such an insulting situation?

There are times to get up and raise some hell, but to cause a scene and imply unpatriotic behavior is not the way to go. Being patriotic means you stand up for others attitudes and opinions even if you don't agree with them. So you ask to speak to a manager, and lodge your protest that way. Sort of like in the service, you praise in public and condemn in private.

Whether in or out of uniform, we represent the US military and should comport ourselves accordingly

I think drinking in uniform is distasteful and attention seeking behavior. I get it, sometimes you get off work, go out to eat, and grab a beer with your dinner. That's cool.... but when you go into an establishment that primarily serves alcohol and are attempting to drink in your uniform, you are attention seeking in my opinion.
When I was in the Army, I was authorized to wear my uniform home going on leave, and a lot did, but I never did. Wearing a uniform in an airport when not on orders is something else I see as attention seeking behavior. Why would you even want to wear your uniform on your off time anyways?

Still wouldn't partake. I am from the Baltimore area, I was on leave before during "Fleet Week", got to see all the sailors in their white and blue outfits (The outfits we dress our children in) walking around. Still thought it was distasteful. Maybe its how I was raised in the Army. Who knows.

Walk away then complain about it on Rally Point
Or
Ask to speak to the manager about the issue and walk away.
Or
Just walk away and find another bar.
or
Change out of my uniform (because it's a bitch to clean) and go incognito as a civilian.

On a side note, I hope that poor LTJG in the picture gets some royalties, because her picture is everywhere.

IMHO, I would not go to a bar dressed in uniform regardless of how many others are doing it. It gives the wrong impression and has the potential for negative consequences.
