PT Gear during Leave & Liberty

[NewDog]

While on boot leave (and leave in general), am I authorized to wear the green PT shorts with a civilian shirt? I like how they look together and they're also very comfortable. I'm not sure if it's the full PT gear that isn't authorized or everything from head to toes (aka shirt & shorts).

Fresh out of boot, not looking to make any mistakes.

I ran in my PT gear when I was on leave, but that's many moons ago, the scarlet n gold gear, Semper Fidelis.

I believe PT gear is allowed during leave & liberty for physical training (of course), but are PT shorts with a civilian shirt allowed as casual clothes to roam around the city with?

I would say, don't wear PT gear out on the town, unless you plan on actually PT'ing. Wearing the PT shorts is just asking for yourself to stick out like a sore thumb. If you want to wear shorts, go to the PX and find yourself a nice pair of shorts and wear those, but do not wear PT shorts, even if its authorized to wear.
