There’s a current rule against entering the Commissary or the AAFEs stores in PT UNIFORM, but this is the first time I’ve heard that it applies to dependents as well. I’ve seem tha many ladies going shopping after working out without issues.
Me too, we are Retired over 65, hubby is Ret. SCPO, I do the shopping. And can tell you I’ve never seen a kid ejected or a adult for this type of dressing. There is not a thing wrong with it, it covers well, and is not offensive. I have seen young teen and adult women in more skimpy clothes at both the Exchange and Commissary. Not down to the 2 piece swim suit type, just more skin showing.
It must be a base by base issue. Sure not at Millington, TN Navy Base BUPERS. They go in, in running gear even. As long as there are shoes, shirt, and shorts or pants, that cover the strategic areas fully (NO BARE MID RIFF stuff) there are no restrictions for the spouses and families on or off base.
In Uniform, it best be correct or some shopping Brass will tell you, you are not in proper uniform. PT Uniform is not allowed, is correct CLL.
Brass come in off the golf course just as they went on it.
This was just pure harassment of a child, probably by some muzzie it offended.
There are NO dress code signs up in our Commissary or Exchange. Enlisted know the rules about dress. Families are not held to same standards.
Now the people who use both facilities are better dressed that a Wal-Mart shopper. There is a vast difference. And you get good service. Worst thing about our Exchange is they carry more for the Brass than Enlisted, $200 for a stupid Vera W wallet is outrageous. $65 for a POLO T shirt with collar, is outrageous. Considering all were china made for about $3 bucks.
