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

I actually don't have a problem with it. I maybe did it a few times while I served and was never spoken to about it. I also never saw anyone else get punished for it either.

Hands in a pockets is never acceptable as a Soldiers, thumb in their belt is much better.

i never gained the habit of putting my hands in my pockets except when very cold, even before i was in the Navy. Still don't do it now as its an uncomfortable position for me

Hands in my pockets forever. Why the fuck else would I have pockets. The infantry taught me if you're good at your job and look disgruntled people just don't question it. Accept that one Gunny, First Sergeant, or Sergeant Major just depends on the rotation.

Stupid rule, was so liberating when I could finally do it after RELAD. On a boat, it makes sense though. Walking around with your hands in your pockets when there are so many things to trip you is really stupid.
