If you saw one of your Joes doing this, how would you react?

My response would be "CSM fix this!"

Some of you are overlooking the fact that many high schools have ROTC programs, and utilities/BDU/ACUs are what they wear. The lil bastid might not even be enlisted.....

However, if he is enlisted and was mine, he would hear about it in a nice educational PC hug-o-thon (not) and I can assure you there would not be a repeat performance.

Pretty lame. Very very boot. I'm glad to see though that the Marine Corps still does not allow the utility work uniform off base. Why not just go home,take a shower and put on appropriate clothing for a formal or semi formal affair.

I'd say most of us here, myself included, have too much time on our hands.

That being said, just tell him what he did wrong.

Did anyone stop to think maybe he just got off of duty? Maybe he didn't have time to change. Maybe he was part of the color guard and was asked to come in uniform. Before you judge him based on his appearance ask him.

Find out how old she is, if she is under 18 and he is over 18 it would be an inappropriate relationship and he would get court martialed.

I guess you haven't been out to High School sports games or events often. You have 100's or more from COL all the way down to private attending High School sports in uniform. So just to point out one person in uniform during a function is just not right. This has to be the new Army because I have seen uniform violation off post in Malls, stores, bars all the time. No NCO or Officer will correct them because most of the time their in uniform doing the same thing...This didn't happen when I was in the Army and I know back in the Day you couldn't even go on leave from overseas unless you was in class A uniform. Going off post in uniform in public was not happening back ,and if caught you paid the price. I say NCO / Officer needs to go back to the basic, and start in forcing the standard once again. Not just talking about what you would have done. I am positive that we do have a lot of NCO/Officers that do take action when they see a soldier not in accordance with regulation, but we need 100% doing on the spot correction on and off duty. (Army strong)

It's anybody sure this isn't a high school JROTC cadet? They also wear ACUs.

The old saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" does not apply, from everything I have read, it should be "a picture is worth a thousand questions".

"Stop being dumb. You look ridiculous wearing that around."

Then I'd pop the collar on my flight suit and head out for some beach volleyball.
