I know it makes since to have a clean uniform with no huge holes, but should it be fair to wear a uniform with tiny holes and dirt/mud stains that didn't come out (to a certain point) before going?<div> The same thing with the gear. Should it be perfectly clean when you get back? I understand scrubbing out what you can, but to spend hours to get it out when all you do is set it down on the ground and its already dirty? It also starts to fade the camouflage after awhile.  What do you think is right?</div> 2014-02-04T00:43:47-05:00 SGT Private RallyPoint Member 50736

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Sometime I try to think about some of the stuff we do. I also know that where there are little chances for mistakes, some soldiers take it to the limit. What matter most is the before. It is but proper to go to the rage clean and fun to get back dirty (lolol). U wouldn't wanna fire ur riffle with all the carbon in it so it a mental game.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yeah,<br />We used to have a policy that you needed to wear your best uniform and boots with all your badges for motorpool Monday formation. It made no sense to me to wear all of your best stuff to just ruin it by dropping vehicle fluids on it during pmcs.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Soldiers should have two sets of ACUs - clean and crisp for garrison and rough and ready for the field. As to cleanliness - I believe in what I call functionally clean. It won&#39;t pass a white glove inspection but it will do its job.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Depends. War is hell, garrison is a bitch.
