With the new Regs for the females hair....it’s annoying but when corrected on it people are always like no it’s in regs and I just look at them like no it’s past the three inches. I am not a huge fan of the new regs anyway I find it unprofessional. That part is just my opinion though.

When the barre is not worn correctly, especially in movies where is their military advisor for that one.

This one is really career field specific but it really burns me up. Security Forces members who don't wear their berets properly. Some of them wear the patch in the middle of their forehead like it is a target, or wearing the beret at a severe angle, as opposed to straight across.

I have to be honest,I was always one who skirted with the regulations when it came to hair and moustache length after AIT, but I did like to have a squared away uniform. We had the OD greens anb BDU's My pet peeve I would say is guys would use cardboard around the legs to blouse the pants in the OD green uniform . To me it seemed ridiculous and toy soilder like. I know I will probably piss off a few former D.I.'s but just an opinion. I don't know how they ran with those things bouncing around.

Another was guys wearing their khakis pants out on the town. Back in the day the Army had a short sleeve khakis uniform.

It's not exactly a uniform violation. It's more a military standards violation. Being overweight and hiding it with oversize work or combat uniform. I sometimes see service members (male and female) who are obviously hiding excess stomach or hind quarters fat under their combat or work uniform. The design of the uniform with the "shirt" tail out allows this kind of camouflage, but they aren't fooling anybody.
Patches: Some Army folks let their unit patches wear down over time. They keep sticking them on the combat uniform with Velcro no matter how dirty and dog-eared they become. Looks unprofessional.
The entire Air Force work uniform. The tiger-stripe blue and green design isn't camouflage for any theater except the Base Theater. It ends up a wrinkled mess on most office workers because it can't be starched or ironed apparently.

You know what bothers me? More than anything, and it's probably legal, even! When somebody wraps their fatigue/bdu/whatever they are today pant leg around their lower leg and stuffs them inside the top of their boots. Makes me think of a cartoon soldier. USE THE DARN ELASTIC BLOUSERS ALREADY!!!

Capt Gregory Prickett - I disagree, Captain. With your trousers tucked into your boots it's much easier for dirt and rocks to get into the top of your boots and work their way down to the foot. Trousers outside the boots give some amount of protection against this.

I always put the blousers down around the top of my boots. Different strokes, I guess.
