AR 670-1 clearly states PT uniform is to be worn for PT only, not going out on the town (paraphrase). So why do I keep finding people doing it? They are not fashion statement and they probably stink even if they've just been washed. And I'm not talking about mixing parts of the uniform with civies, I'm talking the whole thing?

Driving around Ft. Hood it looks like a lot of people join the Army for one enlistment to get free clothes, then they hand them out to friends and family. I've seen thugs walking around Wal-Mart with PT pants around their knees. I know they didn't buy them. I know they didn't earn them.

MSG (Join to see), not to dismiss the AR or the corrective measures that MPs might take, but why in the world would anyone even WANT to wear a PT uniform (clean or otherwise) except for PT? I've yet to see any really decent looking PT uniform that I could imagine anyone would want to wear outside of PT! I wore those hideous gray things!
I could go on and on about what the Army now allows with respect to uniform wear, but I'll confine my comments to the PT uniform! CSM Charles Hayden Passed 7/29/2025

It used to be allowed as long as you were traveling directly to or from your post, and if you had to stop for gas it was okay. Trips to walmart not okay. But then you have your profilers and they pretty much live in PTs because they are in 'recovery'. Then there was a unit that was captured and only had PTs that were donated to them to wear because they had been stripped of everything. so, perhaps ther is a reason they are doing that.

It is a freaking no go.
Fix it if you see it, it diminishes us all to have a Joe out there sloughing around in PTs at the mall.

Your not supposed to wear the entire PT uniform. If you had on a pair of jeans and was wearing an IPFU tshirt it would be ok. People wearing the entire uniform are wrong.

I realize that, I wouldnt get after those guys. Even though technically it had to be authorized from the Commander.

At the end of the day it's a t-shirt. I don't think it's worth raising hell over. It's one of those grey areas.

If I still had one of the old "banana suits", I'd wear it everyday!!
Especially the pants.

MSG (Join to see) I agree this is a problem. I also agree that we must correct it and encourage others too be aware of their duty. The problem is others look the other way an do not enforce standards.

So the backstory that started this. On my way up I85N toward FayetteNam. Just before I get into NC I stop for gas. In the attached McDonald's is a SM wearing his PTs. He was with family so I waited for him to walk away from the so I don't embarrass the guy. Do the ID card thing, you're messed up. He just got off work, blah blah, then as he turns and walks away he goes, "Gottcha bro." I had to walk away before I punched him in the face.
