We have kids that walk around on campus in their stuff all the time, but they are ROTC, and I think its required. That being said, I think that is a stupid rule.
Something I dont understand....Wearing uniforms in public

There is one angle to look at more in depth that answers this aside from guys actually in the military service:
Regular people in camo.
You don't have to be military to buy it or wear it. Could very well be civilians in camo walking around. Many civilians can't tell the difference between military look gear and military issue gear.

i don't think anyone cares about people in camo, most of the time they just look like fools when head to toe in camo. most people can tell the difference between a military uniform and a knock off though
You can pick up 'real' military issue camo and many surplus type stores. Jacket, pants and some boots would fool 75% of the US civilian population.
i guess i can't speak for everyone but i've yet to EVER run into anyone decked out in camo from head to toe. not even when i lived close to a military base
When you said "we," did you mean all firefighters in your station, in your city, in your county, in your state? How can you be so certain and speak for "we?" I understand that there's policy and regulation. However, each individual still has his/her own mind, and his/her own interpretation.... There was a time, right after 9/11, there were many firefighters stood on street with a boot to collect donation. That was clearly violation of their regulation, yet they still did.
The way to finally figure out why they are walking around in their uniforms is just ask. My hubby doesn't go walking around in uniform unless its for a reason. *shrug* We all could just guess what they are doing. Once you ask then you can let us know what you find out.
that's considered working. hahaha, they're collecting donations for a charity. if they didn' wear their uniforms, we wouldnt know they were fire fighters
ps, they STILL do that today
But that (the way of collecting donation, especially cash donation without proper record, and just a boot) is against their policy/regulation... Yet, they did it, and like you said, STILL do it...
