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

I can see using pockets in BDU's...NOT in DRESS or Class A Uniform....except for the back right pocket for the wallet....that's what was drilled into my head...as far as the belt...leave it alone...it is doing it's job just fine holding up your trousers without any additional help from you...!!! God bless everybody !!!!

Discipline, without it... the force is questioned. Even in the most austere conditions... it is imperative we continue a mentality of discipline and leadership is key to it's continuation by example.. it just makes you a better person in the end... even after, in civilian life.. stereotypes by civilians these days have already begun.

I had a big fight with my hands in my pockets. With that said I don't think hands need to be in the pocket but hooking the beltloop is a good alternative. Its like saying gosh instead of other things

First of why are you putting your hands in your pocket, your looking for something? For those who don't know a pocket is a small bag sewn into or on clothing so as to form part of it, used for carrying small articles not your hands. It looks un profesional and very lazy. Can you run with your hands in your pocket? How about engage in hand to hand combat? I didn't think so, so unless your hands are freezing (put some gloves on) keep your hands out or get out. Simple.

Why would anyone but USAF want to do it?
I understand the AF doesn't issue gloves. Just kidding.
It does not present a neat and professional appearance. I know how old and cliché that sounds but it is true. Today, 18 years after retirement, I still remove my hat when I go indoor, even Walmart.
