So, these are my primary/common pieces of uniform you’ll see me in nowadays.
Both are considered work or duty uniforms, but one is specifically for when we’re on shift, watch, etc.
Basically, when there’s an actual, likely, possible, or perceived danger then you’ll see the body armor, knives, rifle, magazines, etc.
The other uniform is for all other tasks and functions, in a formal or official manner, outside of anything dangerous.
I sometimes swap out specific pieces of gear such as different pouches, as well as shift things around.
Important pieces of gear: •Tourniquet (life-saving, stopping hemorrhages) •Multi-tool •Mag pouches (magazines carry ammo) •Side dual mag pouches (more ammo) •IFAK (individual first-aid kit) You can’t see it but it’s all the way to the left-side of me, nearly my back) •Knife (When you run out of ammo)
Post pics of yours, some pieces of everyday gear, etc.

Do I want to continue wearing such uniform?
Eh, I’m actually not really sure. There’s a few competing thoughts in my head, so I’ll have to see how I feel in the coming few months.
Is it worth it? In some ways, yes; in some, no. Depends on what you do and the people you’re with. This is every job though.
Do you all wear a uniform to work? What is it and how do you feel about wearing a uniform? Do you want to continue wearing this uniform?
No, I don’t wear a uniform. I actually answered a similar question yesterday, as follows:
I’m a teacher and the dress code at my school is what could be called “business casual”. No T-shirts unless it’s a special spirit day or your position at the school allows it (gym teacher, for example). No shorts, skirts, or dresses that are more than 2 inches above the knee, no sleeveless tops or tank tops.
The male teachers typically wear golf shirts or button up shirts (some even put on a tie, though it’s not required), and the female teachers typically wear blouses, button up shirts, or tops like in your 3rd and 4th photo.
We’re allowed to wear jeans and sneakers, though. We really just need to remember that we are setting an example for students and we need to look professional and put together. These standards were upheld when we were working from home as well, especially since many parents would also be able to see us on the screen!
There’s nothing wrong with it. To me, it’s typical casual workplace attire. I would not wear anything different because this is what works for me. I spend much of the day on my feet so I wear clean, plain black running shoes as well.
Also, I find it interesting that I’m the only person in my immediate family, aside from my husband, who doesn’t wear a uniform, or some semblance of a uniform (like a lab coat for example), to work.
Uniforms or strict dress codes do make things easier, though. Don’t have to worry about buying as many clothes, etc. I have friends who wore uniforms when they were in school and they always loved not having to rush around and look for clothes every morning.
My parents are hospital doctors - scrubs required at all times and lab coats are worn in certain situations. My older brother is also a military man - Canadian Air Force, my twin brother is a mechanic, and my two younger brothers - one is a civil engineer and he’s usually on construction job sites wearing hi vis and other safety equipment, and the other is a paramedic.
