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

Ok let's stop right their! I'm all for flaming individuals and their rights and your personal choice! A lot of these individuals make outstanding soldiers! But NO! I do not agree when a female soldier off duty on base dresses like a $2 hooker! And I do not agree that a male dresses like the damn crow with no hair!

I hate to be controversial, but the buck has to stop somewhere! if your going to a crazy club where you dress like this then ok that's one thing. But save the on base costumes for Halloween and Mardi Graw if your stationed out that way!

Uniformity is a time honored tradition! Your part of legacy! You should be honored to be a part of.
Just my thoughts on this subject!

Sometimes, I really wonder why individuals join a team organization which requires uniformaty, customs, and structured rules since the 1800's. That, they think that some of the infractions are ok and question you or make you the bad guy because you have intergrity to pump the brakes. There is other terminology I want to use but this is not the place, so I will conclude with YIKES!!!! So not ok by any means. Hopefully, others will post a more educated reply. Good Luck

Lord have mercy! It's not your Daddy's military any more, is it?

AR 670-1 states that male soldiers are not authorized to wear earrings. Until their gender is officially changed by DEERS on the DA 1172 and ERB they will follow all regulations as a male. This issue needs to be brought to the chain of command to fix the infraction. There is also a blurb within the regulation that addressed ripped clothing and maintaining a professional appearance while in civilian clothing.

Let's go down the list:
1. Black lipstick - nope. Females can't wear that color either, so that rules out any transgender loophole.
2. Earrings - nope. Not for males.
3. Finger jewelry - has a limit of two rings. More than that is wrong.
4. Ripped pants - local judgment call. For me, depends on where the rips are. IE knees maybe, crotch or backside exposed whole lot of nope.

Back in my day, a joe walking around like this would not make it far before a flock of NCO would descend and regulate. How this is no longer the case is mind-boggling to me.

I would check with your local command's policies on this.

Unfortunately your establishment soaked in tradition and uniformity has been attacked by the social standards of "accepting without question". I believe that the military should stay as such, we have a job to do and shouldn't have time to conform to the milenials agenda.
I realize I'm low on the todom pole as of now, but some day...

And so, queue TAPS, we say so long to the "Professionalism" aspect of our "elite" armed forces. All stand and cheer for the future pussification of America.

I found nothing concerning makeup for male Service Members when off duty. Please remember that there are almost always local policies regarding civilian attire as well.
As for the rest of this the latest version of 670-1 that I know about says this:

1–13. Wear of civilian clothing
a.
Civilian clothing is authorized for wear when off duty, unless the wear is prohibited by the installation
commander in CONUS or by the MACOM commander overseas. Commanders down to unit level may restrict the
wear of civilian clothes by those soldiers who have had their pass privileges revoked, under the provisions of AR
600–8–10.
b.
When on duty in civilian clothes, Army personnel will conform to the appearance standards in this regulation,
unless specifically exempted by the commander for specific mission requirements.
1–14. Wear of jewelry
a.
Soldiers may wear a wristwatch, a wrist identification bracelet, and a total of two rings (a wedding set is
considered one ring) with Army uniforms, unless prohibited by the commander for safety or health reasons. Any
jewelry soldiers wear must be conservative and in good taste. Identification bracelets are limited to medical alert
bracelets and MIA/POW identification bracelets. Soldiers may wear only one item on each wrist.
b.
No jewelry, other than that described in paragraph 1–14
a
, above, will appear exposed while wearing the uniform;
this includes watch chains, or similar items, and pens and pencils. The only authorized exceptions are religious items
described in para 1–7
b
, above; a conservative tie tack or tie clasp that male soldiers may wear with the black four-in-
hand necktie; and a pen or pencil that may appear exposed on the hospital duty, food service, CVC, or flight uniforms.
c.
Body piercing. When on any Army installation or other places under Army control, soldiers may not attach, affix,
or display objects, articles, jewelry, or ornamentation to or through the skin while they are in uniform, in civilian
clothes on duty, or in civilian clothes off duty (this includes earrings for male soldiers). The only exception is for
female soldiers, as indicated in paragraph 1–14
d
, below. (The term “skin” is not confined to external skin, but includes
the tongue, lips, inside the mouth, and other surfaces of the body not readily visible).
d.
Females are authorized to wear prescribed earrings with the service, dress, and mess uniforms.
(1) Earrings may be screw-on, clip-on, or post-type earrings, in gold, silver, white pearl, or diamond. The earrings
will not exceed 6 mm or
1
⁄
4
inch in diameter, and they must be unadorned and spherical. When worn, the earrings will
fit snugly against the ear. Females may wear earrings only as a matched pair, with only one earring per ear lobe.
(2) Females are not authorized to wear earrings with any class C (utility) uniform (BDU, hospital duty, food service,
physical fitness, field, or organizational).
(3) When on duty in civilian attire, female soldiers must comply with the specifications listed in (1) above when
wearing earrings, unless otherwise authorized by the commander. When females are off duty, there are no restrictions
on the wear of earrings.
e.
Ankle bracelets, necklaces (other than those described in para 1–7
b
), faddish (trendy) devices, medallions,
amulets, and personal talismans or icons are not authorized for wear in any military uniform, or in civilian clothes on

Any male human being who wears lipstick, earrings, ripped clothing or adheres to any other of the ridiculous, childish fads of the civilian culture is not, has never been nor will ever be a soldier. Soldiers are willing to accept the atmosphere of regimentation and brotherhood at all times while serving in our military forces because they know it is necessary to win the battle and protect those civilian misfits back home. If you don't want to be a soldier 100% of the time, stay home with those misfits and let the willing soldiers do their jobs without distraction.
