ooooo-rah..geeez, the more things change, the more they stay the

wrong with dungarees?


Anybody was has had to wear them as a uniform item would never ask
that question. : )


If nothing is wrong with them why can't they be worn off base?

Because the folks that get them filthy dirty during work don't have
enough sense not to wear them off base. That was a problem during the
short times when it was allowed when I was in. Also, some folks,
frequently from the above group, wore them in inappropriate places, like
local bars, and screwed it up for the rest of us who could follow the
rules.
