We couldn't even stop and gas in cammies. You could go to a bar in your more dress uniforms but who would change into that used to go to a bar? Of course during the Marine Corps Ball all bets were off and as long as you didn't pinch anyone's ass or throw up on your CO nobody really said anything.
I'm in favor of repealing DADT, but this made me briefly reconsider
