I saw this in the news today and in a way it made me chuckle, because as the military is downsizing they are now making them add on additional task.

Don't get me wrong, I think many young people do push the line, but I wonder how many times they are going to stop some dependent child wearing the wrong type of clothing. I would think it would be hard to tell the difference between a 17 yo female HS student and the 18 yo female enlisted off duty. The guys will be easier just from the haircuts.
Also, I wonder do they just spend the day in the PX parking lot watching them come and go, or do they drive around the base all day long.
Finally, I would assume that the military members know this, so how many do you really think will temp wearing the wrong type of clothes that would demand 4 patrols on base every day?

A Hawaii Army base is trying to maintain decorum by monitoring what people are wearing and how they're behaving.
A fashion police "Courtesy Patrol" at Schofield Barracks on Oahu is cracking down on civilian and off-duty soldier attire that's deemed inappropriate - including short shorts, bare midriffs, visible underwear, sagging pants and swimwear other than at the pool, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported Monday.
The two-person teams are also on the lookout for uniformed soldiers who are committing violations such as walking while talking on a cellphone and failing to extend proper courtesies.
The standards are being applied to all Army installations across Hawaii.
Eight soldiers are picked daily to be part of four roving Courtesy Patrols at Schofield. The two-person teams include an officer and an enlisted soldier with the rank of sergeant first class or higher.
