going clubbing in uniform?

As a Marine, I can tell you that it is an enforced regulation to not go out in cammies, HOWEVER, he could very well go out anywhere in a dress uniform or service uniform which is what the characters in the film did. I am pretty sure that in the Army and possibly the other branches that they can go out in their cammies whenever we want. We don't do that, though, because we want to look our best in the public eye. I hope that helps clear things up.

"Are you gonna shoot me?"

"That depends. Do you see me?"

I think they can have uniform on saya club thats ON a military base.

It's not against our regulations. It may be yours. Another example is the army has to keep the sleeves of their cammies rolled down in war time anywhere they are. However, in the Marine Corps, we still go sleeves up in the summer but only when we're stateside and not in the field.


"Are you gonna shoot me?"

"That depends. Do you see me?"

"I'm in the Air Force and with the current state of the world you would want to blend to the populace."

No offense, but in general Americans overseas are about as easy to spot as an elephant in a china shop. And between haircut/body build, conversation topics and the fact that they'd probably already know if an American ship/unit/squadron was in town, it's probably not too difficult to figure out if you're military... taking the uniform off just prevents overkill.


Denny Crane.

Agree. Im an SrA (USAF) stationed at Davis-Monthan. It clearly states in AFI 36-2903 that we are not to frequent an establishment that mainly serves alcohol.

Basically, no dress Blues or BDU/ABU's at a club or bar.

LOL, Stealth and Top Gun are pretty cavalier in their dress and appearance. I know I wouldn't get 5 feet from my car if I wore a polo shirt under my flight suit.



None better than THE Ohio State University!

BDU means Battle Dress Uniform.
As for other uniform related issues. When I was in technical school, we wearen't allowed to leave the barracks unless we were in working or dress uniform, no matter where we went. I have also done various PR things like parades, and escort for a beauty pageant in a dress uniform. After those events it is a good thing to hit a bar in uniform for free drinks and yes women are a lot less guarded when approached by a service man in uniform. But the only rule is not to bring discredit to that uniform in public.
