Air force says bright colors during the day, reflective material at night. I wish they would just take it away, I hate wearing a reflective vest. I've had more people pull in front of me with the damn thing on than I ever did when I was back home.

Fort Bragg, NC got rid of the the post decal stickers and earlier this year got rid of reflective material requirements. Got hasseled a few times until I pulled out the letter from USASOC stating that reflective material requirement was no longer required. What was explained to me was that the reflective material was the causing cagers to look at the reflective material and causing accidents because "you go where you look". Not sure how much of that is true...but I'm just glad that I don't need a decal or reflective material anymore. Hope this eventually trickles down to all military posts.

The basic DoD policy gets amended by every base commander. We have the Navy Region Southwest policy that is based on DoD's, and that gets chopped by the Naval Base Point Loma folks, and then there's additional policy for my command. They can't take anything away from the higher instruction, but they can add pretty much whatever they want to it.
I'll post a new thread with the whole vest/no-vest policy once I go back into the office and pull up the instruction.

I had a green one designed for bicycle riders when I was at Hood, and it was thin enough to fold and stick in my pocket once I got off the base.

DOD removed the requirement for base stickers five years ago. USAF followed immediately and the Army finally followed a year ago. Am not familiar with USN or USMC sticker requirements.
A rather inane requirement with 100% I.D. check in progress.

Here at the SUBBASE in Wa I was explained that they use the stickers to verify vehicles registration, insurance and all that. I argued with the lady what does it matter, you can cancel insurance whenever you want and they give you stickers to your EAOS. So you can't track people with their insurance or registration. She didn't have an answer for me after that. I think it's ridiculous to keep the stickers still. And that was probably what the pass and ID people have to say to use for an excuse.
