I must be Old School. Back when after work you changed at the barracks or home before heading out for supper and a few drinks.

And I went through all the variations from no duty uniform off post period, lunch only, only at quick stops on the way home, etc, etc, etc.

Nowdays ACU wear off post seems very relaxed, hats are optional - tops also it seems in hot weather. Not unusual on a hot day to see a young GI park their ride at Food Lion and go in to get some beer wearing only T-Shirt, pants and boots.
