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

I'm out of the military but as I scroll down this topic, I'm glad to see most of the commenters are out as well or will be soon enough. You can say that people should adhere to a standard without the toxicity. All of these "back in my days", yeah, and back in your day, it was okay to call people derogatory names PER ARMY REGULATIONS so your little stories don't amount for much.

To each his own, but there are unintended consequences.
I believe in keeping what should be private very private and keeping a clear line from the professional image.
Like it or not, the reality is ... perceptions will impact how people treat and react to you.

It been a while since I've read the regulations and correct me if I'm wrong but according to regs a soldier is supposed to look professional while both on and off duty especially on post

Take a picture of him and send it to his command and their higher and ask if this is a representation of his command. But a torn uniform does not make it acceptable for civilian wear by active duty. This soldier will amount to nothing anyway.

Male Soldiers?!

Why are you specifically targeting male soldiers, and since when were they ever not able to wear civilian clothes on post? Goth (now emo, I guess) guys do live on the barracks and have since I was on active duty in the 90s. What do you expect them to do, go off post to get dressed before they go to a concert? I remember seeing guys running around in cowboy boots, giant belt buckles, and bent up hats looking like they walked straight out of a Village People song in the late 80s. How is that any different?

Soldiers can - Marines can’t

Colin, if the regulations does forbid it, then it must approve it. Your personal views are not valid in this situation.

When you are off duty you are still a soldier 24/7 until your pcs out. You should be proud of your professionalism as a US Soldier.

DON'T YOU get IT we are a nation in decline!But no one wants to admit it. We've become a culture of feel good/look good I don't want to get dirty/work hard save money build capital be independent.Almost everyone goes to college to escape responsibly as compared to gaining knowledge for more responsibility.Keep in mind not that many years ago members fained being gay now that the military is a well paying profession every one wanted in except the crossection of the population we need to maintain the Republic
