What branch were you in where those were allowed? Air Force? I know those zips on the side would make them completely out of regs on the army.

I was stationed on joint bases for most of my career and was always jealous of the much more lax regulations for the boots airmen could wear. Army was like "can't wear these because they'll melt to your feet in combat!" like I'm going to be wearing my office boots in a combat zone or something.

I’d much rather wear any variation of fatigues vs a service uniform with ribbons and poo poo dress shoes

Is that really an outlandish idea. Plus, and I guess branch/unit dependent, you can de-blouse often. Say what you want about Marines, those mother fuckers are always in boots and uts. Well, now they have to wear dress/service uniforms more but I digress

My favorite in the type one era Navy is being forced to wear one of two models of steel toed boots approved for shipboard wear to the office.

That's weird as poo poo. I had steel toe boots I kept at my desk for heavy maintenance work, but I just wore sneaker-weight ultralights the rest of the time.

I always assumed the Air Force had the least common sense of the DoD, but I guess I learn something new every day.

I’ve not worn anything since BDU’s were a thing but fatigues were like pajamas compared to class A/B’s slightly ill fitting business-ware with awkward appreciation trophies pinned all over them. In short gently caress anything non camo outside of a formal event.

I was, but it was a SOF outfit and they kind of did their own thing. I was impressed by how not-lovely NCOERs were compared to EPRs.

Yeah your EPRS sound worse as a process, but NCOERs are a loving shitshow and full of ways to gently caress someone over even if they do a great job.

EPRS sound less prone to senior leadership fuckery.

Back when woodland BDUs were still a thing the issue PT gear really sucked. Crappy grey shorts and an equally crappy grey T-Shirt that you could never wash the stink out of. Lets not even talk about the cold weather PT uniform which consisted of the worst quality sweatpants and hooded sweatshirt you could imagine.

Oh yeah, the big army PTs sucked balls. We were wearing whatever unbranded black running shorts and plain brown t-shirts we wanted, basically, then those garbage Army pants and windbreaker if it was cold.

I must've thrown out the grey Army sweats I got in basic. Those were pretty bad, too.

I know in combat zones it was sort of whatever, but the boot regulations in garrison were so silly.

I remember the NEX sold all variations of steel toe boots and whatever that seemed fine for service but weren’t allowed because of small arbitrary reasons. Not even sure why they sold them but hey

I still have a pair of mil issue suede steel toes from 2005. Uncomfortable, sure, but durable as hell. The other pair I was issued lasted like, 7 years before I had to toss them. Just swap insoles.

Are you serious

But really, it seems to go from most common sense to least:

SOCOM
(several miles)
Coast Guard
Air Force
(a mile or two)
Navy
Army

And the Marines are their own weird thing where half the things they do make perfect sense while the other half are totally retarded.

SOCOM, bastion of common sense.

*eyes SOCOM murders of their own people and state of the Middle East*

I think one of my favorite SOCOM encounters was listening to about an hour-long discussion about a Carrier Strike Group entering an ocean, then having a SOCOM rep stand up and say he could send a 12-man team to help by doing some reconnaissance, strikes, and raids from the shore. (The shore was hundreds of miles away and the "plan" for the exercise was to insert via parachute then blend in)

If you only meant poo poo like not flipping out over haircuts or going to a basic-rear end rifle range without being dressed like you're about to eat artillery, sure. But at least flipping out over haircuts means less free time to murder each other.
