Army Post Issues New Regulations Cracking a Down On Civilian Appearance

I wonder how long it will be before someone cries racism/sexism or whatever other -isms there are out there to get this policy revised like we saw with the hair policy:

If you want to go out in public on Fort Leonard Wood you better ditch the tank top, pull up your saggy drawers and shave that scruff.

Maj. Gen. Leslie Smith, the Missouri post’s commanding general, issued new appearance standards in a Nov. 10 policy update.
The rules not only crack down on sloppy dress, but skimpy outfits as well: No short skirts, exposed midriffs and revealing undergarments.
The rules fall under the post’s Command Policy 18, which used to be called “Wear and Appearance of Uniforms.” Now it’s called “Wear and Appearance of Uniforms and Civilian Attire,” which really brings into focus the expansion of the policy to include not only soldiers in civilian clothes, but also spouses, kids, guests – anyone who comes on post.

Picture of the Day: SMA Chandler Criticized for Uniform Violation

Seen at the Army Ten Miler today~

AR 670-1 (Effective date: 15 September 2014):
“Glasses may not be worn on top of the head at any time.”

Wasn’t he the SMA that over-saw that particular addition to the eyewear regulation? [Rally Point]

I wonder if anyone correct the Sergeant Major of the Army on his uniform violation?  By the way I don’t see his reflective belt either?
