Not sure if it is authorized or even appropriate, but what are your thoughts about our senior leaders drinking (taking shots, specifically) while in the Army Combat Uniform?

I do not believe it is unappropriate nor proffessional to do it while in uniform. If a unit is going to do a NCO call or O call their should be enough time to change into civilian clothes. I do know here in FT. Campbell in CAM PAM 600-1 Section 3, Par 6. Soldiers are authorized to wear the ACU during commercial travel both CONUS and OCONUS. Soldiers will not wear the ACU in off-post establishments that primarily sell alcohol. If the off-post establishment sells alcohol and food, Soldier may not wear the ACU if the activities in the establishment center on drinking alcohol.

Of course every Installation has its own polices and Regulations, but still either way I believe its unappropriate and unprofessional no matter where you are in while in uniform. That goes with a Military Ball that is why their are Senior Leaders and other personel not drinking to ensure Soldiers are not getting out of control.
