I will wear it during a unit drunk fest...er I mean a dining out. Otherwise most of our annual Dress Inspections happen on a hanger because they are squeezed in with mandatory annual briefings.

1SG (Join to see) I have had two in my almost ten year career. I went to one and declined to go to the other. Both were optional as money was involved. I did of course have to go to the mixers for schools when I attended.

I found that if you are more then 30 minutes late, the ticket checkers are no longer paying attention. Last year I waltzed right in thinking I could have not paid and done the same. Isn't one of the General Orders about staying at your post as ticket taker until properly relieved?

I had a real good year with them in 2013 I think I did 19 Funerals in 47 days. But since then I have only worn them to a personal friend of mine's funeral in December.

Doesn't sound like a good year to me. Sounds like a rough one to me SFC James Rigdon

My unit recently started wearing them for our Christmas parties (some of us still don't have blues *sigh*) I wear it a bit more often because I am part of our funeral service detail.

Umm, whats a dress uniform?

Seriously, less than once a year. I think I have worn my ASUs like twice since I got them in 2012.

When I was in my dress uniform came out once in awhile depending on duty location. Some assignments I had to wear it more often than others.

When I was still in, it was Marine Ball, and a Mess Night, on average (Dress A or B). If we had a General Officer visit, and we knew they were going to be in Dress C or D (Blue pants, Tan Shirt), we would dress accordingly.

The only ball I have been to was the EOD Memorial Ball. It was nice to see a lot of the old friends.

Once a year...ish, but I'm getting ready to reclass, so I'll probably wear it a lot more this year.

In most of the units I have been in, an annual inspection is the most we do with our ASUs.

Once a month for payday activities and then it sits and collects dust the rest of the time.
