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

No Male Soldier is allowed to wear those items off duty on post for any reason. I also feel that all Soldiers should appear on/off post in a professional manner when ever out in the public eye! This is to include the wearing of swim wear and other activity specific clothing items. Colored hair is never appropriate unless it is of a natural occurring hair color (green, purple, and pink are definitely inappropriate).

Well, I've been retired now for a little more than twenty years and I don't think the military has really changed so much that a command would need to go as far as the root in explaining the appropriate attire for a soldier. First off, as for what I remember, a soldier is never off duty. A soldier is released from duty, to go to their quarters or home, to eat, rest or take care of family matters. A soldier can and or will be called in for duty at anytime after being released. So, this would clear the air about a soldier being off duty, because a commander will always release the company to the subordinate leaders and the subordinate leaders, will again release the personnel to a platoon sergeant, who will release the platoon for the day or weekend. Never will a leader tell a soldier, he/she is off duty. So, as for the wearing of clothing, yes a soldier can and should be corrected, if his/her appearance is inappropriate .

Won't your finger jewlery get suck in your M-16, you freak.

Male soldiers can wear earrings in uniform if they are used as a cosmetic device to cover war wounds to the ear lobe like Moshe Dayan's famous eye patch. I recall an airman with a cosmetic earring who was chewed out by a colonel until he produced his medical record and purple heart documentation and then took off his large disk shaped earring to reveal the damage to his ear lobe.

I'm not agree that soldiers wear lipsticks neither earrings, let those things for the girls. Males have to show their masculinity.

Well crap if you have to ask that question you may want to consider having a Marine mentality to the extreme they have in pride (no offense to any other branches) and carrying yourself in a certain matter that you're above that and no longer your own but Uncle Sam's!!!! Hoooaaahhh, Urrraah!!! Onward and forward, can't look back! You're either in or you're out, that's my say. **Sh**balls, smh**

You never know.......Perhaps he is in the queen berets????
