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

There are some rules and regs that have no basis in common sense

It was hard for me because on one hand, you aren’t allowed to put your hands in your pockets, but with the job having to work with high power, you were told to keep one hand in your pocket (to prevent you from holding something that could complete a loop and kill you). Many years later, I rarely have my hands in my pocket, but almost always have one hand behind my back holding my belt at the waistline. It was something that helped me from “breaking the rules” and having a hand in the pocket.

Still hook my thumbs in my pockets

This is why people get out for stupid conversations like this. Grown men used to be in. Now I'm not to sure

Well it really doesn't look professional especially in class As but I don't see where the problem is while in camos

The fact that is even a question shows how gay the military has gotten, where else is someone supposed to put their hands? Do you guys even have a brain? If you have something that makes your life easier or better at your job you use it!!

Who cares?

Depends on situation, if at informal position and not around senior ranks then ok, however if addressing anyone senior to you then no, straight parade rest or about which ever is deemed most appropriate. Thumbs have a tendency during parade rest however still not appropriate

Hook ‘em . No hamds in pockets is stupid

Know how many times I've been reaching into my pocket to get something and had some dickhead NCO yell at me for it. The only thing stupider than the rule is the jackasses that are all gung ho about enforcing it.
