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.

Depends, Situation Dictates. There are also many factors to what MOS Or Cross MOS They are signed up for. Besides if it's for a mission if they're ok with it as long as they're not Wearing our Military Official Uniform Out of Regulations then why would you even assume they're Soldiers.

If they want to off duty and off base. In 1969 there was a 2nd Lt that was caught crossdressing off post and got busted. While under "house arrest - restricted" he sneaked out in full drag again and again got busted. I believe he received an undesirable discharge at the end of the proceedings.

Every NCO instinct says "NOTONLY NO BUT HELL NO!!" Then I have been retired for nearly 21 years now and have missed out fortunately on most all of the social engineering in the Armed Forces

That is a question that never would have been asked when I was in the service because no one would even consider it and just reading a question like that makes me wonder what in the world is happening in the armed forces.

I know and it's the ultimate truth. The gay agenda knows no boundaries!
It doesn't care for person or station. That is not an attack on anyone who is of the lifestyle it's just the truth as written here

I am not sure how that is viewed now but I remember an Air Force Commander at Rhein Main Airbase that made an Airman and soldier at the main gate remove their earrings. They complained that it was their right to wear them and he explained while that is true, he was the commander and it was his decision who was allowed to enter his post and under what conditions they may do so. Remove the earrings or about face and leave! They removed them.

Twenty years ago, I went to an Atlanta area water theme park. Two young men were behind me in line - swim trunks; no shirts....Nipple Rings shining in the sun. They seemed to have military haircuts so I struck up a conversation expecting them to be junior enlisted from Ft. Benning. I was surprised when both said they were USMA graduates attending Infantry Officer Basic Course.

We as a organization with rich traditions and standards that made the Armed Forces unique from any other organization have carry on with our Esprit de corps and our military way of life. We our set apart from the norms of civilian life for these particular reasons. One: We have to discipline ourselves during conflict and in peace time to maintain the image that been bestowed upon us. Two: Civilians hold us in high regard and standards that are not visible in society. Three: We are 1% of the general population, no matter of the rank, we have to maintain our status of uniquious and respect that differs from the general population.
Four: We are not civilans! We are highly trained force to defend enemies foreign and domestic. We need update the AR 670-1 for civilian clothing.
