Prior to 9/11, most Soldiers in GO HQs wore the (Army) Class B uniform. Our sister services have turned to wearing them at certain commands. Its time for us to return to this tradition. Soldiers in motorpools and in BDEs shouldn't have to, just those of us who work in a GO HQs, Joint environments interacting with the public. This is a matter of professionalism, when or GS civilians put a coat tie on to brief a GO and we wear casual Friday clothes (ACUs), something isn't right.

If I could find a pair of low quarters that didn't squash my feet after 30 minutes, I wouldn't mind having to dress up daily. However, I sit at my desk and help users across the NIPRnet with computer support. Seems like a waste to dress up for that. I do work at a GO HQs.

That seems annoying. There should be an indoor uniform. The ACUs are not really good for indoors and the class A is not very good for everyday work inside......

Absolutely agree on this. I have wanted to implement a "Formal Friday" in my Headquarters for a loooooooong time. Keeps getting shot down by my Commander. But one day; Mwahahahahahaha!

Sir,
I would add recruiting, TWI, ROTC, and even graduate school programs (maybe once a week). Pre-9/11 all recruiters wore the class B uniform. Either long sleeve or short sleeve (less the tie). My first Station NCOIC demanded that we only wear long sleeve with tie daily. It did add to the professionalism of those of us who made daily contact with professionals or civilians.

Sam- Exactly my point, Does an ROTC instructor, recruiter, etc need to wear ACUs? ASUs would be better for the Army and the pride in service. I have tattoos on my forearms so I always wear long sleeve with a tie.
