As a civilian who owns military issued pants (both Army and USMC), would I be able to wear them with boots or is it unauthorized?

As a civilian - never enlisted before - I have a pair of OCP Army Issued and MCCUU Desert Digital, if I buy combat boots, would I be able to wear the pants only with it tucked in, or is it considered stolen valor still as me being a civilian or no?

Mr. Anderson,
It's not stolen valor for a civilian to wear OCP/MCCUU pants with combat boots. Plenty of construction workers do this. Airsoft and Paintballers do this too. Just don't try to portray yourself as, or claim something that you are not. You'll be fine.

I actually think it's pretty cool that a civilian wants to wear OCP pants. Now, if he decides to tell tales of his fabled military service, well that's another story.

Not a big deal. If you ever get a matching top, just make sure there are no patches, rank, insignia, or badges. Without that, it ceases to be a uniform and is just camouflage clothing. (although you may be perceived as a wannabe by some veterans if you are just wearing it to look cool with no real purpose). But no stolen valor.

wear what ever you want, just be truthful if someone asks, no one will say anything if you wear boots and pants, or even a boony cap with them. the main thing about stolen valor is those passing themselves off as something they are not, or earned.
