Rob, do you have any input on this matter. It's starting to be one of those " I wore camo to China and was held in isolation for two years" kind of threads. After 20 trips to JA most in camo cargo shorts because I like all the pockets to hold my wallet, passport, phone and other items. I have never once been told by customs I can't wear them. From what I have always understood is that you should not try to dress like a JA cop or military or sell anything of that nature.
Now for the rest of you calling people names, some people wear camo to hunt and most of my ex military friends and myself wear it because of comfort and the utility factor. I find the all the pockets useful and I don't really give a **** how people think it looks. I just don't people feeling like they need to leave clothes at home because of rumor. That being said most visiting JA are not going to be wearing full on tactical or BDU's with jungle boots to Negril.

Indecision may or may not be my problem
I'm always in camo, fat old bald white guy in tourist clothes, nobody notices me.
Didn't give it any thought whatsoever myself, and likely wore camo shorts through immigration. If not, I KNOW I wore them once in Negril. No one gave me so much as a second look.
Just returned from jays hideaway and I wore camo all the time with having family in military I always have some . No issues if anything all the locals guys refer to me as solider . I helped a young girl outta a car in a accident in camo pants and they thought I was paramedic lol . I hope the little one was ok
That can be a compliment or not.Originally Posted by Bigtime
On another note, I was watching on facebook a video of a guy being rather upset at a beggar/street person wearing a full camo uniform claiming he was a falsely a vet...dude didn't even serve. Granted the video was a 180 from people wearing shorts and not a full uniform....but I can now overstand how people can be upset with people wearing it.
Saw the same video, and want to $hit in that dudes mouth. With that said, and as a vet, I have zero issue with anyone wearing a pair of camo shorts or a camo shirt. Wearing a full set of BDU's and fronting that you are a vet or active duty is insulting. I have other thoughts on this but will keep it to myself.
Agree 100%......wearing a bit of camo, and "stolen valor" are far, far, FAR from being one and the same. I don't think anyone has a right to be upset about someone wearing camo(legal discussions aside)...but representing one as something they are not, never have been, and never will be is a different animal all together, and can certainly understand why THAT would upset people.
Guess I will clarify that when the customs officer explained that i could not enter the country with the cargo shorts I was wearing it was the specific pattern and color of the camo that I had on. Which was this:
Ya Mon...Heading home
10/9-10/16 @ Idle Awhile & the Zoo!
3/14-3/21 @ The Zoo
So did you have to change? I've gone through with woodland camo cut offs with no problem before.
