Sometimes I'm on duty (during the day) when Lodge or Chapter meetings come around, and I have to go straight from work to Lodge or Chapter. As long as I'm not out of uniform, are there any rational reasons why I shouldn't wear my ASUs? I'd rather not do the ACUs/OCPs.<br /> <br />Note, I just had my two week AT, and actually did wear the ASUs on the days I had Lodge meetings. I wore my jeweled collar and apron over my uniform ONLY in Lodge (I'm Secretary of one Lodge, and Junior Deacon of another). <br /> <br />Also, in two weeks, I'm going to be installed as Worthy Patron of my OES chapter, and that's on a Saturday evening of Battle Assembly weekend. I'm going to ask the commander if he minds if I show up for Battle Assembly on the Saturday in ASUs, as I won't have time to change out of ACUs and drive to the installation ceremony.<br /><br />UPDATE: I did wear my ASUs to Battle Assembly last weekend, and then to the Installation of my OES Chapter. I got lots of compliments. People in my Chapter who I never knew previously served approached me and thanked me for wearing my uniform.Are there any reasons why I should not wear the uniform (ASUs) to a Lodge or Chapter meeting?2017-02-24T16:55:47-05:00CW3 Private RallyPoint Member2370053<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Sorry about that, I had an entire paragraph that seemed to be deleted.<br /> <br />I'm a Freemason, and a member of the Order of the Eastern Star.

Lodge is usually formal, and won't serve alcohol. <br /><br />Plus, our Brothers will understand if you are in uniform do to work. Every Brother I know would rather have you in lodge in work clothes than you not be in lodge at all.Response by SSG Matthew Nechy made Feb 24 at 2017 10:15 PM2017-02-24T22:15:26-05:002017-02-24T22:15:26-05:00Capt Private RallyPoint Member2442057<div class="images-v2-count-1"><div class="content-picture image-v2-number-1" id="image-141510"> <div class="social_icons social-buttons-on-image">
