Can male soldiers wear lipstick, earrings and ripped clothes while off duty, but on post?

This is interesting now that Trump made an announcement prohibiting transgenders from joining the Army.

Oh hell no you look like a soldier for 24 seven when you're on post and on duty

Whenever a lower enlisted soldier says "look at the regulation and quote or something of that nature that means either a) he's been cherry picking regulations and doesn't know them as well as he thinks he does or b) is bluffing in the hopes that you really don't know the regulation.

In this case, this little mouth breather is as wrong as a cat and dog humping. AR 670-1 clearly outlaws all of these behaviors, some regardless of gender.

My response is based on my career in the USN which was completed in 1990 so bear that in mind. I can not understand a person who voluntarily enlists in an organization known for strict standards of discipline and dress code and then is unwilling or unable to follow the policies, procedures and standards which have been the basis of that unit almost since inception. Not in all cases by any means, but in far too many cases, I can't help to place some of the blame on recruiters who have numbers to meet and the non-coms in basic and advanced training facilities for not carefully screening these recruits before they reach their permanent first assignments. Todays entitled generation do not realize the importance of the difference between civilian and military life. They need to be trained in ALL aspects of the military, not just in their specialties.

I will NEVER forget this. We had a young soldier that was into Goth. He had been to a Goth club in Nashville the night before and had slept late. He reported to formation with black eye makeup on his eyes. Our Platoon Sergeant had a come-apart!

Most interesting... Looks Like the "Goth's" Have been allowed to run Rabid on Post...

This is probably why the Marines have a civilian dress code now across the Marine Corps. I will second the notion to check on local post or command policies on this. I think that is usually where the off post guidelines on dress code are defined...........(black lipstick, make-up, on a guy...where have we seen that before...lol).

Did Corporal Klinger submit this?

My take on this having been in the military for 24 years and having had soldiers who were gay straight and or Goth or whatever types is that you signed up to be a soldier. Whether on duty or not while contracted to serve this country one needs to act according to what it is to be a soldier. That goes on and off base but, by all means wear what you want away from people who know you. If caught not acting or representing the military (whatever branch). If there is an UCMJ law is in place your senior officer might make an example of you in anyway he chooses in accordance with military law. You know what you signed up for don't try to skirt the grey area just to prove a point. You will most likely come up short. Do your duty. Get out and then do anything you want.

Hell no!
