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

I got married at my BN conference room in ACU's and went to my Grandfather's funeral in ACU's because honestly I had no time at all to even change clothes or pack, for my marriage I had just drawn RFI after doing PT, had to pick up my wife and go to the courthouse for the document, then make contact with my family and race up the hill to BN. My first day at my unit my grandfather died and my 1SG expedited my emergency leave, so I had to get an AER loan, cash it, buy my plane ticket, and rush to the airport with nothing but the clothes on my back.

Well the way I see it, your ask to go to battle and possibly die in that uniform. So wear it when you want to wear it you earned the right too

It's a dress situation he should be in dress uniform

If you take a closer look at this photo you will see that it is indeed not prom but what looks like a high school football homecoming do to the cheerleaders and homecoming king and queen.

Now, that's something that makes every Marine just confused as hell. We never, NEVER do anything but go to work, go home from work, or at the very most, stop for gas or a drive thru bank to get money, in our Cammies. Its just not done... We always assumed that the Army had other rules, though since you see them everywhere.

Did any of you ever stop to think about this possibly being an rotc member at this particular high school? No unit patch on the left shoulder.

It boils down to "Do I have any reservations whether this is within the regs?". If you have even the SLIGHTEST feeling that it may be a violation... don't do it. Something like this can break a career. I was best man at a civilian wedding and wore my class A uniform. This is within regulations, but wearing ACUs when off duty to a school event? No, I don't think it is within regs. All of that being said, I would approach him discretely and "strongly suggest" that he remove the picture from his page to avoid having some "by the book" officer finding it and deciding to make an example. I believe that his heart was in the right place and there's no reason to harm his career over one relatively minor mistake. Good men/women are hard to come by, so give him the chance to prove his worth, but let him know that I will be watching, so he better shape up.

Yeah he's just a private and for some reason privates never want to take their ACUs off... All good don't stress it too much maybe just suggest he take it down

Was he working HRAP there? Why was he in uniform to begin with. Y'all don't know enough to just say he's breaking regulations. How about get enough information before being jail house lawyers lol. He could have been on duty in ACUs and his sister wanted a picture lol. Who knows. I'd be cool and make sure he knew it wasn't ok but surely not crucify him cause some NCO somewhere didn't do their job making sure troops knew right vs wrong.

Check the date too, if he was in jrRotc he could be wearing the uniform for a reason.
