Keep in place the Department of Defense rule of hands out of pockets while in military uniform

Created by D.J. on November 26, 2012

This is to petition the Obama administration to keep the Department of Defense rule of no hands in pockets while in military uniform in place. With your help we can offset the attempt of another petition to change the rule that allows military members to place their hands in their pockets. Although this change is minor, the effects will cause morale and discipline to deteriorate. Keeping the standards of military bearing and professionalism in effect is priority number one and with your help we can continue to have the best armed, trained, and professional force known to world
