When my daughter graduated boot camp at Ft Jackson she gave me a gray ARMY t-shirt as a gift. It's my favorite shirt. She was just through the toughest 8 weeks of her life, had practically no money - and still went to the gift shop for her family. I don't wear it so people think I was in the Army. I wear it because she gave it to me. I wear it because I'm proud of her. Over the last 6 years I've been stopped by people saying thank you for your service - which I always explain it's my daughter - and that one time some douchecanoe started questioning my MOS - in the airport - in front of a lot of people ... and I had to pull him aside and explain through my teeth about the shirt. Pissed me off. I have a Red Sox t-shirt too. People don't think I'm a baseball player. These guys need to chill out. People can wear an Army T-Shirt or a jacket without having to explain themselves. It's not a uniform.

I'm a vet, run a surplus store. The only time stolen valor is a crime is if you're using it for financial gain or to garner benefits (like VA benefits, disability pay). Anyone can wear military uniform, dress, utilities, properly or improperly, that is part of the first amendment, freedom of expression. It is illegal to impersonate a federal agent, but AGAIN, only if you're using it to gain favor or to coerce someone. Know the law before you cite it.

[@alexansari2138]

Very well said. I love to shop at the surplus stores and buy gear. I never wear uniform, but I like the BDU pants the Woodland pattern. I like the K-Bar knife too and the jungle boots.

Its only Stolen Valor if you use it "with the intention of obtaining money, property, or other tangible benefit by convincing another that he or she received the award.".

You’re allowed to wear Army Uniforms that are unauthorized (bdu, acu and PT) just don’t go around asking for money or discounts. Now, if you start wearing authorized Army OCP’s or PT then it’s a problem, even more if you start parading around asking for discounts and shit. Also, you can’t wear authorized Army uniform with civies. I see alot of lower enlisted(pvts) wearing the PT shirt and some jeans on post. Can’t do that, now if you’re doing some type of off post PT or even on post and your CO allows the troop or Battery to do that, then you can. It all falls under AR 670-1, uniform standards and grooming standards.

[@nunyabiznez6381]

I am a restaurant manager and I give discounts to vets and families. The vets get a standing discount of 1% off for every year they can prove they served with a minimum of 5% off. They get a free drink or free desert with every meal and on Veteran's day a vet gets the whole meal for free. Also if a vet brings in their family members on veteran's day up to three of them will get a free desert or free drink. Active service personnel get the same discount but extended to their spouse and children. As for ID, I'll accept anything reasonable. I have a short list of regulars who have brought in copies of their service record to get the bigger discounts for those who served more than 5 years. But if they show me a document that gives their rank or grade then I can sometimes extrapolate from that how long they served as often I can find that info on the internet. I know it's not an exact science but I'm also not an expert on the military. I just figure they deserve a little more consideration. We have this one old guy who lost both legs in battle on D-Day. He eats free period. If it's memorial day and you are a military widow you get a free meal. My mother got widows benefits from the VA so I know any widow of a vet can show me her paperwork. Basically I will take anything she got mailed to her from the VA showing she is a widow of a vet. I've probably been scammed once or twice. I get a lot of people who try. We have a little sign that says "ASK ABOUT VETERAN'S DISCOUNTS" So a lot of people will take advantage of such things. The thing is they are usually easy to spot. A real vet usually won't wear any kind of uniform to the restaurant but often they have a sort of baseball cap with something on it that commemorates the unit they were in. One guy has the name of his ship on his cap and another guy has the name of his army unit though I can't remember what they were. Occasionally a vet will wear a T-shirt with some mention of their unit on them. But actual uniforms are rare except with active service personnel and we don't get a lot of them because we are not close to any bases except Coast Guard. While I'm not an expert, I've seen enough uniforms to get a pretty good idea when a scam artist is standing in front of me. They almost always don't have a name tag. they usually don't have the insignia on straight. Most of the time they have more medals and insignia and ribbons than a North Korean field marshal. Most of the time they don't have a military haircut. Often they have beard growth. But the biggest thing is they rarely have bearing, a term I recently learned and honestly, vets tend to present themselves a certain way that civilians like myself just don't.

[@daviddubin4654]

@@nunyabiznez6381 First of all, let me thank you for honoring my brother/sister veterans as you do. Next, you're absolutely right about real veterans having "bearing." It is instilled in us from the beginning and most of us still have it as a matter of pride in our service and in our selves. I don't go anywhere without a cover on, as melanoma ran in our family and the only caps I wear are Army caps, bought for me by family members. Some veterans may not have any documentation, especially if they only served one enlistment or are old geezers (like me) and were drafted. Typically, those of us who are retired will have at least a retired ID card. In my case, as I'm disabled, I also have a VA ID card and am a life member of the VFW.

Ive been around family wearing their military uniform and every other person stops to say thanks. Im sure its appreciated but id imagine it would be annoying if you just want milk. I get stopped enough in my uniform, I cant imagine if I was military as well haha. Most people wearing it around all the time have a strange obsession with needing attention.

CAC Common Access Card: Essentially military ID and it's also used for logging into DoD computers. Also encryption type stuff like signing emails as well as having your Tricare info on it, if you live in the dorms/barracks it's also used to get food from the DFAC.

[@nikolai8267]

Yeah I agree. I dress in different BDUs every now and then and get together with my friends to play airsoft or paintball. Though I make it a strict rule not to wear anything in public because I don't want to cause trouble. I even contemplate whether or not I should come in my BDU pants or change at my destination, because I don't even like wearing those in public. And if anyone asks, I make sure they know Im wearing them as part of a hobby, and that Im not trying to claim benefits, or that Im a vet.

You have to be careful with calling people out. Someone tried calling me out at the VA while I was an inpatient and in a hospital gear in my personal wheelchair. All because I couldn't remember the name of the hole at the top of the parachute. Oops, 20+ years later life moved on. I haven't forgotten since though. It pissed me off so bad that it is seared in my brain now. That's what I get for having Airborne tattoos.

[@Mathadar]

I get that too, when I wear my Civil Air Patrol uniform. Which is why unless it is Veteran's Day and I am going to an event, or doing a Flag Ceremony/Funeral where I am doing something related to a vet, I don't wear it outside of activities. If I am on the way to or from an event, I will wear it, otherwise, no bueno. If you stop for very long anywhere, you gotta change out of your uniform. I was in the Marine Corps JROTC, back in High School and had the same thing back then, with two accusing me of stolen valor, this was back in 2003, and I was at the Youth Action Center right after getting out of Rifle Team practice. So, yeah, they made assumptions, even though the JROTC has very clear markings, to let you know, it is not an active military uniform.

[@Mathadar]

@Ethan Poertner - BTEC Student Yup, we did the same thing. Anytime someone said that, I just say thank you, and move on. I do the same thing as a security guard, as people mistake me for a police officer all the time. If they say thank you for my service, I say your welcome. However, if they say thank you police officer, I say your welcome, but I am a security officer. That way I both say thanks, but also correct it, so I don't get accused of "pretending" to be a police officer, as that is a felony.

[@alvindurochermtl]

@@MrJetFormation Being in a position to call someone out is a power trip many enjoy. As a vet myself I can understand why some vets want to call out people walking around in full kit or explicitly claiming they are in the service while looking very dodgy. But in some cases calling people in civies out on the account that they have a non unit-specific patch or something is just overzealous. I have seen American tourists in Russia and China walking around with the old Soviet Army fur cap or a fake version of the Chinese army comrade cap with the little red star. Imagine if each and every one of them needs to be called out and asked whether they were actually Party Members or active duty People's Liberation Army soldiers.
