If you were to visit or call HRC with a problem would it matter what the person helping you was wearing? This is a debate we have had for a long time, should we all be dressed up, or would it be ok to be in jeans and a polo if the person helping you is taking care of your problem. Officers, NCO's and enlisted I would like to hear your options.

Rocky,
I used to work at HRC was there as a Solider and again as a contractor. To answer your initial question, no I do not see any relation to the service you get and the clothes you wear. There were times when I got called in after hours as a Solider and had to get in, in whatever I had on at the time. The professionalism remained and the level of service consistant.
Now to address another portion of question, should the dress code be professional at HRC? Yes. HRC is the equivalent of a corporate business Human resources, and should act accordingly. Soliders should be in class C atleast, and cilivians should be in dress attire, shirt and tie type of dress.
One thing my old 1st Sgt taught us, when you look good, and when you look good you feel good, and when you feel good you work good.
My two cents

Dennis,
I hear you, so Civilian should be in a shirt and tie and soldier in ACU's, is that fair?

No Rocky that is not what I said, Soliders should be in class C, Short sleeve shirt with dress slacks and everything above that up to the full dress uniform.

To me I don't care really what you would be wearing as long as its not offensive as long as the problem I have is being corrected.

Regardless of where we work, this is still a professional organization. I can see personnel wearing California business casual on Fridays at HRC, but Mon-Thurs is business attire. So if that is ASU or class b (military) and suit/tie/dress (civilian) then so be it. SFC Leber nailed it, how you dress will impact how you feel and how you act. Do we allow Solidiers to wear grungy dirty uniforms to PT? Why not? They're just gonna get dirty anyways. Because it's the right thing to do, that's why. Until the Army has 2 distinct forces (1 for combat and 1 for support) we all have to follow the same rules. On a personal note, I do agree with with allowing "support" personnel wearing more casual business attire since 95% of their time is spent in offices. But, professionally, I do agree with the current policy.
