There are strict conduct and deportment rules when you appear in uniform in public. From expectations of appearance to conduct in front of civilians.

Short term summary don't do anything that disgraces your uniform or your unit.

In a bar its one thing, but its pretty rare that you see a soldier in a bar in uniform getting gassed. A mess is a different thing and while you might be reminded about decorum, its not really strictly enforced.

At a hockey game getting plastered and falling down drunk and spewing profanity is usually frowned upon. Was it an officer on NCO? Officers are held to an even higher standard.

When I appeared in public in uniform I had to be especially careful, the climate in the late 80's and early 90's was not exactly military friendly and I took a lot of abuse on the C-Train and in public places and couldn't respond.

I actually got in a fare amount of trouble on the C-Train heading down to Mewata when an older lady in a fur coat started yelling that I was a baby killer and some even worse slurs, and I lost my temper and told her that I didn't understand how she could call me a baby killer which I wasn't when she was wearing a furcoat that looked like it was made with child labour out of puppies.

There was a Captain on the train with me, and when we exited, he pulled me off to the side and ripped me up one side out of the other about poor conduct while in uniform.
