Though regulations state no hands in your pockets in uniform, what are your thoughts on those who hold their belt buckle or waistline?

It's just another talking point.....Seems in the Navy, it was only an issue once a year when the E-7 Selected were on the street.

I believe the situation should dictate. If standing a public forum present a more stoic posture, but in working spaces who really cares, unless the CO, XO, Six, or other person in the chain is addressing you.

Hands in pockets was a crazy rule. It was hard to keep from doing it in the winter. Aircraft maintenance wearing gloves was sometimes impossible.

Petty crap.

I'm schizopherenic on this issue. As a military electronics technican we were taught to a avoid having high voltage pass thrugh my heart to keep one hand in my pocket while working with high voltage. As an Airman my First Seargent always keep my hands out of my pockets. Although pockets are sometimes refered to as "Air Force Gloves" even by the AF

It's just how it was done when I first joined back in 91. Ft. Drum, sub zero weather, hands tucked in our pants at the stomach (like a backwards parade rest) because God have mercy on your soul if an NCO saw them in your pockets. It was a sign of laziness, or so we were told. Our patrol caps had ear warmers that folded down. Never got to use those either.

Grew up with my hands in my pockets when I was just standing around my belt loop is the only thing that keeps me from doing it now!

I did it so my hand didnt rest on the butt of my pistol, its kinda intimidating to me when an MP does that.

I’ve always held my belt.

I really don't see the problem with hands in your pockets or holding your belt but at the same time I can see maybe not doing it sometime s but still I don't think it's bad at all
