Sometimes it seems like soldiers back home wear their uniforms in places or at events that have nothing to do with the war (e.g. at church, at a wedding, relative's graduation, other formal events, etc.) Why do they do it? Is it an attention thing?
Reps for good answers.

Some do, however most don't wear their uniforms in public. You can't deny that a set of Marine dress blues looks pimp. I only wore mine by choice once, when I was a boot lol
I know the Army has something about having to travel in their uniform, not sure what it is.
And since people in the military are required to have each uniform, it takes out the issue of getting something to look nice for an event.★cVc★

In the Army, you're supposed to travel in Class A's on certain occasions. In 6+ years, I've never encountered one of those occasions. A lot of Soldiers will wear their Class A's for formal occasions because once you've been in for a little while, you get all these bells and whistles that make them look really nice. Plus, you stand out in crowds (to females or whatnot).

I never understood why. Personally, I think they are retards for wearing them. I can guess it's pride, atta boy or a "look at me" type of thing.
You just have to wear it while your on duty. Any other time is your choice. I would rip my uniform off the second I got off duty.
Fk wearing that thing everywhere. Would you go around wearing your work uniform when you were not at work?
It becomes the same deal if you've been in for more than 2 months.
Formal events are a different story.

LOL, don't own any suits.
Which branch? Why does the rank matter? So it's okay for 0-3 to travel in uniform but at E-3 can't? Might not get a round of applause but we do get first seating and upgrades, just sayin'. You can call me an attention whore all you want but I'll wear my uniform within regulations, thanks though.-2011 Carpe Diem Crew-

It looks good and it's something to be proud of. What part of this are you not picking up, OP?
Near, far, wherever you are...
...I believe that the heart does go on.
Once more, you open the door.
And you're here in my heart.
And my heart will go on and on.
