How do you guys feel about a soldier working out outside after work in his OCPs without a top?

On post? Why not. Let’s say sm’s are told stay close. your not released officially. go to the gym, pop top and hit it hard. Some soldiers may get 1hr lunch. Less time changing = more time lifting. Off post, I wouldn’t do it.

There was a time in the Army when work out clothes were fatigue pants, t-shirts, and unbloused boots. In other words, the PT uniform was it was the standard uniform without the shirt.

With that in mind, I don’t see it as a problem working out in uniform instead of PT gear.

I feel like going bare chested isn't a good look but I think dropping your blouse for a workout is acceptable. Me personally, I feel more comfortable at the gym in designated exercise clothes so I make sure I plan my day accordingly.
