So, if you had to wear any combination of your dress uniform on a weekly basis, what would yours entail. Meaning, booted and suited ASU's, Full on Class B's, or the bare minimum?

MOPP4.<div><br></div><div>Seriously though. For about 6 months last year, our shop used to wear full ASU's on the last Friday of every month. As AIT instructors, I thought it added a look of professionalism that the young Soldiers appreciated. Gave them something to strive for. When we changed branch leadership, it sort of fell to the wayside.</div><div><br></div><div>I personally think that classroom-based AIT instructors should wear B's as a daily duty uniform. I never understood the use of a utility uniform when you are not working in a "utility" environment. As a young private, I remember the recruiters wearing B's and always thought that it looked REALLY professional, and I think AIT instructors should carry that look on. A college English professor wears a tie to work, why do we wear our field/utility/workin' uniform?</div>

Nothing wrong with classroom instructors rocking the service uniform. Working uniforms are for... dunno... working?

I did wear it daily when in MDW as an MP! Medals, ribbons, white gloves and with taps while on 12 hour patrols and working gates. It gets easy once you have to to maintain it. We wear it so little, we forget the tricks and secrets to weekly or daily wear protection!

CW5 Sam R. Baker That's good stuff, chief. I wish I had more experience with a daily wear of the ASU. It's a rarity that we can wear the uniform, and I personally enjoy wearing it on the small occasions I'm able to.

I have two coats now, and to be perfectly honest, one fits snug or more form fitting for occasions where I plan to stand or not do much physical stuff, then I have one loose fitting where I can place my hands together in front of me at a higher plane, to ensure reach and mobility. Not everyone can afford two, but I have bought several at the local shops off base and had them altered or tailored for much less than buying a new one each time.
