What is your pet peeve?
I think each post should have "uniform police" like curtosey patrol. Issuing 72 hour time frame tickets for getting uniforms that fit. Because it sure is like a collateral duty to me.
Well to start my response off (and throw rocks at the Bee's Nest) AR 670-1 does not cover the walking and talking on a cell phone, walking while smoking, walking while eating, walking while drinking. Those are more commonly known as Blue Book Standards that are added by the Post or Unit.
I.E. USAG Grafenwoehr/Rose Barracks the post policy letter concerning uniform items does not address the above mentioned...it is completely within regulation to walk and smoke, walk and talk on a cell phone, etc... because there is no policy in place.
This is why everyone was confused at the proposed additions to AR 670-1 that was going to add those things. Part of enforcing standards is making sure you know what the standards are, not just a monkey see/monkey do mentality.
I have a huge pet peeve for the way headgear is worn (any of the headgears), tilted back, ranger rolled, smashed, worn like a Marine (I kid you not, I had a soldier iron/starch out his PC because he saw that the Marines did it). The headgear is one of the most noticeable parts of your uniform.
Male Soldiers wearing earrings, especially on military facilities.
SFC Attardi,
You are correct. This is something that is done at unit or post command level, not Army wide. With that being said I've never seen it allowed though. Every installation I've been to has had it in their post policy letters or post handbook.
When someone for the sake of humor is disregarding of your basic human respect, regardless the rank.
When folks try to "duck the music" or even worse, acknowledge its there without any regard whatsoever.
