Traveling in uniform?

Question

I am traveling by commerical airline to go to WLC. Do I travel in ACU's? I thought that wasn't allowed but just want to verify what my unit said.

Answer 1

Our unit commander has a policy that we travel in uniform. I agree that with threat levels being as they are it isn't the most wise choice, but I'm still gonna have to do it!

Answer 2

ACUS

and I cant tell you how good it is to see you all in the airport

I think it makes the airports safer too

but I am an Army  Mom

and I Love Army Boys!

good luck!

and thank you kiddo

Answer 3

i am a soldier and i have traveled in uniform a few times. and no people will ask you where the bathroom is. the only time you do not want to travel in uniform is going overseas to a duty station. not to iraq because you are required to wear uniform flying to iraq. but in my case im in germany now and NO i do not travel in uniform for international flights. but statside there is no problem. good luck in WLC. i go next month =]

Answer 4

You are told you cannot because of the terrorist threat...ha...

The only time I flew in uniform was when I had to....which was midtour leave from Iraq....

I always laughed when I saw privates at the airport in uniform. Nearly all of whom did it for attention....

Answer 5

Trust me, you DO NOT want the passengers confusing you with the guardsmen protecting the airport...

...unless you LIKE being asked where the bathroom is every five minutes.

Answer 6

It's allowed.  There was some ALARACT message that came out a while back that said travel in uniform is authorized.  

I went in civilians though.

Answer 7

yes acu's are your only authorized military travel uniform although civilian clothes are recommended.

Answer 8

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO!??!?!?!?!? When I see someone in uniform I always look at them like their an idoit- trying to get attention! I was a Marine for 8 years and I even left Iraq early, and we bought civies in Kuwait and flew back on a chartered plane full of Air Force b/c we had to go through BWI. Terrorist threat is yeah and overseas thing. We used to fly on C-130's through the Philippines and Malaysia and so on in civilian clothes b/c of that. Seriously though it your doing it for the attention, then your a L 7, Square!
