Many of us have one thing that really gets to us. I have to say that probably my biggest pet peeve (as it pertains to the military) are ill fitted ACU tops. I constantly find myself explaining to people how their uniform should fit.
What is your pet peeve?

If the military doesn't want someone to put their hands in their pockets, then they should eliminate them from the uniform. Problem solved. I think there are bigger fish to fry with the uniforms and bad habits.

My biggest pet peeve are uniform tops that too small.
I just do not understand why it's so hard to read, I mean these soldiers (O1 and up) (E1 and up) have uniform tops that are entirely too small or against regulation. They are either too short or the Velcro doesn't work anymore. That is an unserviceable uniform or its ashy like white ashes!

Soldiers that do not know the proper placement of a driver badge and a marksmanship badge.

I can think of a million other things to be irked by than having hands in pockets. I've been in for 15 years and have had 5 deployments and throughout all of it I always had hands in my pockets. I was inducted into the SAMC as a plain ole sergeant and all the while I had my hands in my pockets. Job performance is the true sign of how professional a Soldier is, not hands in fucking pockets.

I hate a patrol cap where people roll the hell out of them. One of the first things I look at on the uniform Is a soldiers patrol cap. I also hate when the patrol cap is thrown on the head like the patrol just got out of bed Ave is all over the place.

Mine is failure to adhere to customs and courtesies (ie. not standing at the proper positions for a conversation, not giving the greeting of the day to superiors, not saluting the flag or officers). It shows absolutely no pride in your service and your country, and it is disgraceful.

Not taking pride in the uniform. Wearing that US flag on your shoulder and not respecting your country in the uniform you wear should be as bad as treason. I Work for the police department and I just spent two hours ironing and shinning boots. You are the face of this coi and/or community and need to represent with honor and pride. MY OPINION

There are enough regulations and policies to enforce, please don't feel compelled to enforce your pet peeves.

It's not a one-sided, single scope type of thing. Enforce all equally. I was just asking the question and giving my opinion CSM Mike Maynard . I do appreciate your feedback, though, CSM.

Hair. I can't stand it when someone's hair is out of regulations. That's the first thing I notice when I see them.

CSM Mike Maynard
SSG Christopher Adame , there is a significant difference between regulation/policy and pet peeves.
Pet peeves are personal/individual preferences that are not based on regulation/policy or could be local policies that are additions to regulations that are limited to a small population/echelon.
The issue is that regulations are standard across the Army and can be more easily obeyed/enforced because most Soldiers are aware of the common standard, Pet Peeves are not, therefore they are not a standard.

Rgr CSM Mike Maynard , if we must get into the weeds with regards to the meaning of my question, I would say that it bothers me that a standard/ regulation, is so easily disregarded due to people's preferences.
The ideal of such blatant disregard for such a simple matter, is more directly related to a peeve.
I believe in following standards and enforcing them fully. Please don't mistake my comments as a bias. Becasue, I, CSM, strive to be both fair and impartial in all matters. Whether I like the situation or not.

I know it might not be against the AFI but when I was stationed at Sheppard AFB, the AITs would get done with class run up to their rooms grab a pair of shorts throw them on and run out still wearing their tan shirt and knee high green socks! Come on take a few seconds and get all the way out of uniform before you leave your room.
