Had an interesting moment where in a soldier had me direct dial his BN CMD while correcting him about him wearing black lipstick, earrings, finger jewlery and ripped pants.
The CMD informed me I needed to read the regulations, which I have done so.
As far as I've read and know, there has been no update that allows male soldiers to wear this off-duty while on post.

If they are in the Navy, of course. Anything goes. In the Army, they should man up. Seriously.

Keep in mind, the US Military (under Oh-bummer) decided to permit people who are transgendered. This includes people who have not performed the operation as it isn't a requirement. So it is legal if a man chooses to identify as a woman. I'm not a fan of the erosion of unit cohesion over a small percentage of the population, more am I a fan of the pseudo-science liberals are pushing to now claim there is a gradient of gender. Sadly, HE isn't wrong if HE claims to be a she.

Male soldiers cannot on or off post..... Now if thy went thru sex change and their ID card represents them being female is the only other exception I could see them getting away with it. Obviously his chain was worried about ramifications and said screw army regs so they didn't have to hear anything about it.....

Sp4. This is almost a silly question. When on Post you wear the uniform on duty. Off Duty you wear civilian clothing as prescribed by Post regulations (this use to be an individual Post regulation, not Army wide) Off POst as long as it doesn't identify you as a member of the military, feel free to wear and loot as you like. A story from the deep dark past. When I was in it was almost universal that females couldn't sea shorts on base. The typical regulation would read that females over 10 years old had to be covered to the knee by either a skirt or pants. Well fashion prevailed, I think it was during the Hot Pants era of the 70's and this regulation started to disappear. Npw almost anything goes, I've seen teenage girls at Miramar MCAS at the Exchange, i guess they were dependents, wearing shorts that where ripped to almost embarrassing places and their sixes are hanging out. The same garments wet on sale in the PX. You just have to roll with the times.

Yes no one enforces dress codes and more. I am retired I gave up about a year after I got out they don't want to listen to an old retired guy tell them the rules. We need the NCO's and SNCO's , Officers to carry forward. Get the Marines on and off duty in line. Get the wives and kids reigned in. I have seen people in the commissary in Pajama bottoms, Gym Cloths, open toed shoes, tank tops, belly's hanging out in midrift's, short shorts asses hanging out. Braless etc.

Good Morning SSgt. Becker. I agree with you 100%, you forgot butts hanging out on males. But and I know always a but, the rest of the world is not the Army and dynamic cultures such as the American are always in a state of change. I go into off post restaurants and see men sitting at a table eating while wearing a hat, bad manners, I see men not open doors for women or assist them in getting into an automobile, very bad manners, I wonder how women accept men today and their lack of consideration and manners.

Is the Soldier in question "transitioning"? If so, then YES, regulations allow a male Soldier to dress as a female during non-duty hours as part of the transition process.
