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.

The tomes are achanging. In 1964, blue jeans were not allowed on post at Fort Benning.

The military is suppose to be a professional organization. Iv always believed that every organization has it's own immune system. That system will reject defective items. If there are people that want to dress and act this way they ultimately will be rejected.

Mad Dog (Lap dog) Mattis has countermanded the Commander in Chief about cross dressers in the military so I guess they can wear anything they feel like on a particular day. Feel like a woman, dress like one, feel like a man, dress like one. Anything goes in the left wing social experiments the military has embraced.

How did the question of nutty or crazy dressing become a question of sexual preference? I was in 1966 to 1965 and there was no questions that a "gay " soldier would be discharged if it came to the top brass attention. Having said that, at one time we had 3 gay guys in our bay. But we also had 26 guys in the bay so they were hardly noticed. As we went up in rank the rooms got smaller. When I made sgt. E5 I was in a room of 8 guys and Hoyt was one of them. We razzed him because he had a picture in his locker of a surfer guy. He was also a pretty good guy and worked to help his team. When talking about women one evening he said he had a boyfriend over in Brigade HQ. None of us ever said a word to anyone outside of our group about this.

Well well, that’s like lipstick on a pig! When one joins the military certain rights are abridged! How one presents themselves off duty DOES have a psychological impact on how they present themselves ON duty! I am by no means a prude but there HAS TO be limits! Which is in this day and age lacking in a serious way!!!!

The UCMJ is quite clear about maintaining a military appearance both off or on duty. A Soldier can be corrected for uniform infractions. The UCMJ is clear on this matter but as far as gender manipulations their needs to be a JAG Lawyer on this matter.

I suppose he can---But only if he wares a matching neckless with his pierced earrings.
