How many times a year do you wear your dress uniform?

As a Navy Chaplain I wear dress uniform fairly frequently. My first command was a training command so I wore it on average about twice a week for graduations. At my current command the dress uniform is probably once every couple months, but we wear khakis every Friday.

Now when I was in the Army... different story. We wore dress uniform once a week while I was going through language school. Once I graduated I wore Class "B" once in the remaining 4 years of service. Never put the dress uniform on again.

A few times a year since I've been with the CAV. Prior to that, I had worn my A's twice in 19 years.

This is a hard one to answer LTC (Join to see). I put once a year but it depends on many factors.
If there are Military Balls, or a tasking for "Funeral Honors."
Of course I am not complaining. I honestly really like wearing the Uniform but am always very cautious about getting dirty.
I remember a time in the Military when I wore it once a month for "Pay Day Activities." I wonder if we truly slow down on the deployments if that will come back.

Until recently it was "Less than once a year." I've worn it two or three times in the last 6 months though....so it's actually current....LOL. I don't really WANT to wear it that often though. However, I'm SUPER grateful that we are wearing the peaked garrison cap instead of that stupid freaking beret. v/r, CPT Butler

Twice in the last four years not counting DA photos (twice for that I believe). Wore I a lot the previous three years as a recruiter and have worn it 5 times already since arriving at the school house since August. Probably twice every 3 months now.

Perhaps a dumb question...what are "payday activities"? I've never heard this term before.

Once a year, ish. Usually when I'm on phone standby for a court martial.
