IMHO the short answer is Yes, CADPAT should be marching out dress in public.
In responce to the post by signals guy, No one should be out drunk in public in ANY uniform. You are the Representative of the queen and Canada when you are in that outfit and should act as such when you wear it.
We are held to a higher standard than the rest of the population as are the police, fire and other emergency and law enforcement professions. With that said I believe it is imperative for the CF to be more "in the face" of Joe civi. Let him and her know that we are there and simply by our presence in their midst remind them that we are there to protect them and the country that they call home.
In the past several decades there has been an overwhelming consensus to "keep a low profile" and to "not cause waves" when it comes to our existence off of a CF Base. Then we wonder why the do not register on the public polls on national concerns.
In conclusion,
Wear the uniform with pride and correctly at all times in public,
do not get overtly drunk,
do not drink and drive,
be cautious to ALL Civilians you encounter,
behave as if the RSM was sitting at your elbow,
interact with the population, let them know that you are not some a- hole and a regular person with an extra ordinary job.
