When you are in a military vehicle, that means you must be in full uniform, correct???

No. There are no DoD regulations requiring uniform while operating a military vehicle or equipment. However, it depends on your duty at the moment, which may/may not require being in uniform.

I know in my Marine Corp, we always were unless we were in PT gear being transported to a site

mrscbaumgardner

that depends. when we did a field exercise we were on a missiona nd were posing as op-for (oposition forces- the enemy) and we were in civilian clothes. it depends on the mission and the local regulations on it. but generally ys you have to be in full uniform including cover.

I've seen people in military vehicles not in uniform. But then since I don't know what they are doing - I leave them alone.

This is a leading question. The purpose of using a military vehicle determines the dress required. The users location and mission is a factor. You said military vehicle, did you mean a tactical vehicle? We once towed a float in a Germany parade, civilian attire was authorized. The key words are mission and authorized. In a tactical situation the answer would normally be "No". I was TDY to a German unit and was authorized to use the vehicle as needed. That included driving for supper.

Not if you're a civilian.

Simple answer. No.

DOOM

assuming by full uniform, you mean utilities, undershirt, socks, boots, and a cover, then yes, you have to be in full uniform.

HOOAH! It's an Army Thing

Ordinarily, that is correct. Exceptions are generally mission-specific. Such as the one answerer with PT, or the other when acting as OPFOR in an exercise. Another exception is Military Police or other Investigators working in plain clothes.

Naturally, civilians using military vehicles won't be in uniform as well, as the other answerer mentioned.

i believe so

I'd say it means you SHOULD be in uniform. If you're on duty, and on official function, you're supposed to be in uniform, and a vehicle is supposed to be used on official duties only.
If the duty of the vehicle somehow involves un-uniformed people...... That'd be a loophole. Say it's evacuating refugees. Or in an emergency.... Or the vehicle's part of the general government's interagency motorpool. (hence the "U.S. Government" license plates)

You must be in "full" uniform. What the uniform is, battle dress, parade dress, etc. depends on what's is happening and where you are.

suppose to be. why do u ask??

Uniform is whatever your leadership says. If they want you to wear your blues while riding a tank, then you are in uniform.

You are always in "full" uniform. There is not a single branch of the armed services that allow you to walk around with just some of the uniform and mixed up with non regulation items. As late as 1996 you were not even allowed to walk around in jeans with the brown t-shirt you wear with the BDU, because it was considered mixing civilian and military clothing. Same goes for wearing a field jacket with insignia while wearing civilian clothes.

The funny thing is that "uniform" doesn't mean you are wearing only regulation. It means everyone is wearing the same thing. If your company has custom t-shirts for PT, and everyone is wearing the same t-shirt as authorized by the company commander, then you are in uniform.
