| When I was on active duty '67 to '69 uniform rules were individual to the post. At Ft. Belvoir fatigues (field and work uniform) were not to be worn off post unless the soldier lived off past, then they could be worn home minimizing stops for fuel. Otherwise khakis or dress uniforms were required off post. Khakis were only summer uniforms, not winter. Belvoir was apparently one of the few posts that allowed khaki shorts and knee socks as uniform. I wore those summers especially while bicycling to the office. Civilian shorts were not allowed in the PX, and I was accosted by more than one visiting officer from other posts where khaki shorts were not allowed. I always invited them to come to my first sergeant's office where a current copy of the post uniform regulations was available and none took me up on that visit. I still have all those uniforms, but I have not worn them and don't plan to ever.
