"workout gear" (this would include sweats, for example) at the exchange or commissary, they're just screwing with people. They are making the environment unpleasant, so people will get irritated and think about taking the TERA or the lump sum severance.

Last time I was in a commissary (which was just last month) most of the people in "workout gear" were retirees and their spouses. Those people don't particularly care to dress up like they're going to a dance to go grocery shopping. It's just ... stupid!

The CO, through a spokesperson, is "insinuating" that the Marine exceeded his or her charge. MADem May 2014 #11

Actually, as a veteran of the USAF Dr Hobbitstein May 2014 #13

Maybe that installation is getting a huge hit in the drawdown sweepstakes. MADem Jun 2014 #19
