Strictly referring to the uniform itself (or organizational clothing for you

immediately recognized as a pilot by the public. Since 9/11, OEF, and OIF,
it expresses a positive image to the public because they know it's my
business clothes.

If you're referring to the overall condition of the garment, that's a matter
of personal responsibility and command leadership (i.e., the XO needs to
pound a few heads and rattle the supply folks).

If it's good enough to get shot at in, it's good enough to wear to
McDonalds.

Then why can't the Enlisted folks wear their dungarees off base??

That's a great point. I see absolutely no reason why a clean set of
dungaress shouldn't be allowed off base. Unfortunately, I have little/no
say in the matter.

The Navy does allow the cammy uniforms to be worn off base though.
