training camp tomorrow. I'll only be there for the evening and was wondering if I should go in uniform? Do you think I'll get autographs that way? It sounds wrong to me to do that but everyone is saying I should. Any advice?

I have already attended the camp, and they have an army setup in the confrence tent, just go inside and ask them if they can help you with getting access. While I was there a guy in uniform sat next to us, but he had like a all access type pass around his neck, we asked him how he got it and he said they just gave it to him. So just ask around I am sure there will be people there to accomadate you. If not you should show up early and if you are part of the true blue fan club they let them in 15 minutes before anyone else so you can get good front row seats, if you get that get front row at the end zone alot of times the players head towards the endzone because it is more accessable. Hope this helps, but I think you should wear your uniform I am sure it will help, and Thank You.

Yes. the best advise you can get. You are a soldier, wear it, class A's with all the trimmings. And wear it with pride. I used to wear mine to Church and all social functions. Get your pics, and make the Cowboys feel like they are the ones being honored by the presence of a US soldier being present. Trust me, it's like wearing a business suit. Would you wear a suit to church or your swim trunks.
I am a Vet and proud of our Soldiers, you earned it so go get it. (they may give you priceless signed footballs to boot).
Show your id at all restaraunts, and where you shop and ask if they gives military discounts. It works the same with Vets also. Most places do. We served our country proudly, now what can our country do for us. Most flack comes from non-military communities, but if their butt was ever on the line keeping American citizens safe, then they would see things a little different.

Trust me...wearing your uniform is a golden ticket. I'm thinking it needs to become a part of my boyfriend's every day uniform (not that the cop uniform isn't good, but still...)...when he's got that on and we're out somewhere doing whatever people treatment with the utmost respect, he pretty much doesn't have to pay for anything and everyone wants to be friends with him.

My godson is in the National Guard and gets offered discounts and stuff all the time when he's in uniform. He feels kind of bad about it also. But I'm going to tell you what I tell him:
You've enlisted in the Armed Forces and made it your sworn duty to uphold the ideals of the Constitution even if it means dying. You deserve every freakin' discount, autograph or whatever that gets offered to you.
Wear your uniform...wear it with pride and enjoy yourself. And hey - thanks for your service!!! :)

If you can use the fact of you being a service member to benefit from it go right ahead. Many places give discounts and freebies to service men and women. If you can say, "hey, I volunteered to put my life in someone elses hands in order for you to be able to play football and make a gazillion dollars." Go right ahead, there's nothing cheap or wrong with it in my book.

To me, as a non military civilian, it seems like you are using/abusing your military status by wearing your uniform just to get uniforms.
That being said, if I was in your shoes, I would probably do it - I guess that makes me a huge hypocrite, but what can you do - and like LeeLee said, you definitely deserve it considering you protect our freedom and allow us to enjoy our beloved football in peace and safety. You know what . . . go for it!

Check with your base library. They have Army procedures for virtually every situation. See what the book says if anything.
