Are people allowed to wear OCP bottoms with a civilian top?

Two recent situations brought this question up for me. A ltc posted pictures of themselves posed in ocp bottoms and civilian top while out on a recreational hike. There is also a ruck scheduled this week with uniform being ocp bottom and civilian tops. Very odd. And from my understanding, generally neither of these things are allowed. Ar 670-1 says "Civilian clothing f. No part of a prescribed uniform, except those items not exclusively military in character, may be worn with civilian clothing", so I'm wondering what is going on here

I'm retired, so.... I basically wear what I want unless on post. When it comes to the ASU, I don't wear that right now because I haven't had occasion to attend anything worth shaving my beard. If I wear the ASU I will shave. Other than that, I don't worry about it.

You clearly are. The fact you post here, look up the regs in 670-1 and continue to try to find something to bust this guys balls shows the world you are looking to stir nothing into something.
Leave the guy alone and go mind your own business.

1SG Russell S. Very well thought and eloquent. And what would I do? Report someone for a Facebook post of them in ocp? Stop extrapolating garbage from an honest question

Troll. Just a non picture BS troll account looking to stir something up. Are you the neighborhood fashion nazi? If really just a civilian or for that matter a weak .mil type just ask him if you got the guts.

Sir, it depends on what “civilian tops” are. As mentioned in the 670-1, “not exclusively military in character,” can be a gray area for unit t-shirts, hoodies, etc. It depends on the garrison/post command policies, but within the two stations I have been in, as long as they were unit-approved apparels, we were able to wear “civilian-like” clothings for PT, ruck, and during organizational days. Every military post and unit is different so this is a difficult question to answer.

To answer the question though, yes as long as the apparel is in line with the unit and post command policies...
