So I saw my first military poser today at Wal-Mart of all places. Had Army ACUs, popped collar, what looked like a white turtleneck and Doc Marten's boots, patrol cap on indoors, no name tapes anywhere, Marine Corps Globe-and-Anchor on his pc, no unit patches and an American flag patch with no stars. I asked him what unit he was in, he responded with being an E-7 petty officer in the Navy.

I never understood why idiots pose. A lot of guys I work with served and still do it. Be proud of what u did in the service of this country, don't talk shut cause you don't think your job was cool enough

I have seen many posers. Some are just sad human beings looking for a little validation; some are obviously living a fantasy. I try to be civil and pass them by. On two occasions I have showed particularly boorish gentlemen my retired identification card and asked them for theirs. Both had lost their cards. As to wear of uniforms by veterans (less than 20 years) and retired veterans (20+ years or medically retired), the uniformed services all have regulations for proper wear. Being retired Army I observe requirements in Army Regulation 670-1 Section 30-3. Another good source for guidance is "the balance". http://www.ar670.com/chapters/view/30 or https://www.thebalance.com/military-uniforms-by-retirees-veterans-3356978
In NO regulation is ACU/BDU/work/PT uniform authorized for wear in public.
