<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Your daughter is proud of you! I would be thrilled if my daughter asks me to wear mine. These little favors create lifelong memories for your daughter, and there will be less and less opportunity as she goes to college and moves on.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I think it detracts from the attention that she would get on her big day, but if that's really what she wants, then I'd wear them to make her happy. Congratulations (in advance) on her graduation.

Be there for her and wear your ASUs the best you have worn them.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>This would be a great chance for you to show a positive image of a Soldier supporting and being proud of their Family. Without our Families, we can't do what we do every day in the military. You have a chance to be an ambassador for the Army in the public's eye, so take advantage of this. Go for it!

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Nothing wrong with it at all, go for it, be as proud of your service as your daughter is. My oldest son requested I wear my uniform for his Senior Night when he played football, how could I not!

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>A few thoughts:<br />- Nothing in regulation that I am aware of that forbids wearing ASUs to a civilian event (other than political events).<br />- The best advertisement for the Army is our currently serving members.<br />- Your daughter has asked you to wear your uniform.<br />- Based upon above, wear your ASU.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I personally would not - the day is about the graduates, not you. Uniforms draw a lot of attention.<br />Having said that, you have done a few things right if your daughter is that proud of her daddy.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Your daughter wants to honor your service? Seems like a no-brainer to me. Not only will you make her happy, you'll influence, in some manner, every young mind that sees you that day.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You helped get her through High School (and through Life) by (I hopefully assume) proudly wearing that uniform. She was proud of you then, and she obviously wants to "show you off" now because of that same pride she has in you and who you are.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Are you as proud of your service, as your daughter is? If so wear the uniform, if my daughter wanted me to wear mine; I would because I am proud of my service.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If my daughters asked me to wear mine, I'd do it. She's proud of your profession, things you have done, and to everyone know you are her father. Just watch the pride in her walking alongside you and surely this would be a memorable time for the both of you. Unfortunately for me, I'd be retired when my girls walk across the stage. Good luck brother.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Don&#39;t you even dare think you are not justified in wearing your ASU to your daughter&#39;s graduation. You were given that uniform to wear it. The Army expects you to wear it for appropriate military functions, AND wants you to wear it for equally important civilian events. What a great opportunity to make your daughter as proud of you as you are of her.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I wouldn&#39;t say I would wear a Tutu, but my Dress Greens shrank away many years ago until they only fit in my old footlocker. If your daughter wants it to hell with anyone else&#39;s opinion.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Why not? its a special occasion and there is nothing in AR 670-1 that says that you cant and your doing it to honor her besides you&#39;d wear them when she gets married right so this just as appropriate.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Normally, my answer would be no, because wearing your bling tends to detract from the person upon whom the focus should be centered. But if she - the person being honored - has requested it, then I think it is OK. <br /><br />I would, however, caution, that your daughter is (presumedly) not the ONLY person being honored. For that reason, I would probably wear full &quot;Class A&quot; uniform while escorting her (i.e. before and after the ceremony), but drop the coat and downgrade to Class Bs when sitting in the bleachers.
