Hubby has to get his chucks ready for duty next week,what the F...he is with 1/4 @ horno. 

Like we know these things... Ask your husband why or when they started. 

Why don't you ask him? 

for duty? My DH has worn them for rainbow PT. 

He is in the field...I thought they only wear them on formal events,bleh! 

It's been a really long time, but I could swear I remember my hubs having to wear chucks to duty once when he was with 2/7. Like maybe when he was standing duty at hq. I really have no idea why, but I think I remember that happening once. 

Because he has A duty probably

O in the field??? Well that's just silly. Lol 

Mine has worn them once before on duty, but never again. Who knows why?!

Silly girl...are you referring to Chuck Taylor tennis shoes?? She's referring to the dress uniform, charlies.

My husband has been at commands where they do that either because they have a gung ho new guy with some pull, or because collectively they've been "nasty" so it's like a punishment. Maybe that's what's happening? 

wait, are we all talking about the same chucks. I'm thinking Chuck Taylors..lol 

^^^ what?? lol 

They started this where my husband was at a month before he got out. This was almost a year ago. 

wait, are we all talking about the same chucks. I'm thinking Chuck Taylors..lol

I'm thinking the same thing. I've heard of Charlies but not Chucks as a uniform option. 

chucks in my world are these:

 

I know what chucks are I have a few pairs and their my fav shoe.

Charlie AKA Chucks 

my husband has to wear them on fri,sat and sun when he has barracks duty with his unit. plus his duty last 2 weeks every other day and one full weekend. 

I actually asked my hubby, while he thinks actually wearing them can be a hinderance if anything actually happens on duty, the reason is because they want them in a different uniform from everyone else so they stick out more. They do cammies for weekend duty though.

Oh wait, I didn't read this part...I'm not sure why he has to wear them on the weekend. 

hubby is with 1/4 and he was told this after they came back from deployment. 

my hubs is with 2/11 and he has been having to wear them for months except the weekends. he usually goes in wearing civi's but im sure he changes over. 

it depends on his unit. My hubby was at Pendleton with MTM and he did duty in his cammies, now that he is with Regiment in Hawaii everyone here wheres chucks.

The only way they can change to cammies over here is if it starts raining more than just a sprinkle. Hubby hates it. 

My hubby's old unit 1/5 started wearing Charlies on duty, during the work time. It depends on what the command wants, but its not a must by marine corp order or anything. If the command says wear them, then he has too. 

My hubs command used to always have duty in cammies now its always chucks. I'm not sure why they changed it but that is how they want it to be so he just does it and doesn't complain.
