Post; Cammies


Should cammies (BDU's) be allowed to be worn outside base?

Um... aren't Cammies the awards given to webcam people? Or do you mean BDUs? I'm confused...

They are still called Cammies in the Marine Corps. BDUs in the Army.

So his usage of Cammies is correct.

How about this, the uniforms that you wear to go out in the field for training. That should work for most of them shouldnt it? The ones that look like camoflague.

I don't know about the US, but our CADPATs are worn off base a lot. Mind you, most of the bases around here are in the middle of a city so, I dunno.

They are worn outside off base here too. I don't see a problem with that. What would be a reason to vote no?

Or not born in that country where that word is used to describe those

I put no, but then i came to think that they might still be "working" and i would say it should be.

The way I see it, our cammies are for battle and war they are not to be worn in the public. If there is some reason for you to go out where civi's or your good uniforms. That is the way it was when I was in. If we were caught out in the town, even to stop for gas, we were busted. They would put you on a Company type punishment.
