Haven't seen post on it on Rallypoint, but if there's one, my apologies for duplicate post.
I'm not referring here to special situations such as chewing chiclets from MREs out in the field or training circumstances where no food or drinks allowed.
I'm talking about routine administrative duties conducted in regular uniform. Do you chew or allow a degree of gum chewing in your shop? Or is it technically not allowed but nobody minds?

You got service members walking around with a dip in their mouths all day. Gum is cool by me....

I voted technically because it mostly fit my view. In you are in uniform and performing work and doing your job BE IT construction like myself, or admin such as finance or HR or......all the rest. Chew a small piece. Not like an obnoxious chewer and blowing bubbles but to keep the mouth wet and breath fresh. Go for it.
Now if you are in a classroom, giving a presentation, in a meeting then don't. Take out the gum and dip and whatever else. Formations! My gosh I still lean down my squad line and look for anyone chewing gum. I tell them to spit it out or tuck it in the cheek and conceal.
Its situational.

Just don't do it in formation. Other than that there's bigger things to worry about.

For something to be "Technically not allowed,..." there'd have to be a regulation against it.
I won't pretend to have ALL regulations memorized, but I certainly can't remember any forbidding gum chewing.

As long as it was not in formation I never cared about it. Chewing gum is less disgusting than dipping.

It's much less professional to walk around on duty with dip in your mouth... Bigger fish to fry and enemies to kill... That being said... I better not catch either in my damned formations.
