The is do you think that male Soldiers should be allowed to wear ear rings while not in uniform or on a military installation or functions?

I personally have no issue with a person wearing earrings out of uniform, however due to the regulation I will enforce the AR 670-1 as it states that it is not authorized.  My personal beliefs do not warrant my overlooking the reg.

When I first saw this rule I was kind of shocked why we are not allowed to so some explanation would be helpful also! Its not a big deal to me for someone who wore ear rings when i wasn't in the military but I don't know the reasoning on why not if you are off post or on leave. I understand even when not in uniform one is still a solider but still.

If not in uniform or a professional military function, as long as it has taste by looking decent and not outrageous I have no complaints about it.
