I purchased a couple sets at Benning, and was told yesterday by a random SSGT that they’re not authorized at bases where clothing and sales doesn’t have them yet. My understanding was that they have been approved army wide but due to demand have not yet been able to be stocked at all bases as of yet. If it’s agains the regs I’ll take them off but it seemed to me like more of a jealousy thing than his actually knowing. The typical I’m a SSGT you’ll do X. Thanks.

Hahaha, I bet that SSG was just wanting to complain because he didnt have any. Also, that is a very "army" answer of if you cant buy it here you cant wear it.

To play it safe I would ask your PSG and then if they say yes you could tell anyone who does question you that your supervisor told you yes and go with that.

Understood SFC. I come from the Corps and Benning taught surprisingly little of army customs, curtisies and in this case abbreviations I’ll be reading up on the AR for sure over the next few weeks. Much appreciated! SFC Brian Johnston

Unless your post has a policy stating they can't be worn until they're sold on your post.....then wear them. Personally, I would ask the SSG to show me the policy or reg that states I can't wear them if the stores don't sell them

PO1 James McWilliams - Well, you and I both know there have been some Commanders that made some seriously silly policy.
