dcat2u Posted May 5, 2004 #1 Share Posted May 5, 2004 My husband is wearing his Army dress blues. My question is he is assigned to a Cav unit therefore they have the black stetson's, would it be Ok for him to wear it formal night, obviously he would not wear it in the dining room but before and after esp for pictures. What is you opinion? Darlene Proud Wife of a 4ID Soldier! WE GOT HIM!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceguy Posted May 5, 2004 #2 Share Posted May 5, 2004 if he is wearing his spurs, he will need his Stetson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1drifter Posted May 5, 2004 #3 Share Posted May 5, 2004 I think for the photos it would be great. Otherwise I know Air Force officers are required to remove their hats indoors. I assume this means onboard a ship also. Are Army requirements the same? If so I don't imagine he would feel comfortable in the hat all evening. For our wedding my husband wore his Air Force mess dress & had some photos taken with his hat but did not wear it during the evening.

dcat2u Posted May 5, 2004 Author #4 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Yes, he has his spurs, actually they are still on his shoes from last weeks ball. Under normal circumstances the dress "busdriver" caps are removed, however normally stetsons are allowed to remain on, this was addressed with SGM last week.

natalunia Posted May 5, 2004 #5 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Wow! All I can say is I love a man in uniform... and I'm from Texas too, so the Stetson would just be the icing on the cake for me!

hstrybuf Posted May 5, 2004 #7 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Men in uniform look great on formal night! Not sure about the Stetson, but it would certainly look great in the pictures. Please thank your husband for his service to our country!

Jane110 Posted May 8, 2004 #9 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Are people who are active in the military required to wear their uniforms even when on vacation? Thanks, Jane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarletine Posted May 8, 2004 #10 Share Posted May 8, 2004 You don't have to wear your uniforms while on vacation, but for special occasions it is nice to wear your dress uniform. They're so sharp looking (not to mention expensive), and you really stand out wearing them amidst a sea of dark suits and tuxedos.
