Would you stop a soldier in military uniform walking and talking with headphones on, What would you tell them? Is it authorized?

Work on Ft. Sam Houston, and I can't even begin to tell you how many soldiers, sailors, airmen I see around here walking and talking with their headphones on and almost get ran over. I remember when I was active I use to stop them as a saftey precaution, but I could never find something in the Reg that enforces it.

My personal opinion is, Darwin is rolling over in his grave, if the SM's can't walk and talk without getting ran over they do not need to reproduce. On a more official politically correct answer, stop them explain why they are two seconds from death, and unless you have a reg to back why they can't do it, move on. I'm sure someone will share an Army Reg or Local reg on here later.

I'm a huge fan of bringing back Darwinism. Too often do we see the morons of society reproducing. Idiocracy is slowly becoming less of a comedy movie and more of a documentary.

CPT Zachary Brooks I agree, Idiocracy seems to be a shout to masses the direction we are going as a people.

SSG (Join to see) I am with you on that opinion, but this is the military and we must attempt to look and sound professional....in public anyway. Although I see plenty of professional walking and talking on their phones and no one calls them out for their safety or lack of looking professional while doing it.

I would stop someone wearing headphones and talking in uniform. It is not authorized. Here is the Air Force regulation on it. AFI 36-2903, 6.3.3.1

I do all the time. Most installations don't allow the use of headphones while walking in even civilian clothes.

If they were in uniform, absolutely. They know better. In civis, I wouldn't really worry about.
