I do believe they are more lenient when you're on rotation, not to say that I've ever been in theatre. But from what my buddies tell me, you get more lee-way in what you can wear.

Depends.
If you are JTF-2 you can do whatever the fuck you want.
The army does allow for some non-issue gear to be worn, but it's mostly things like backpacks, camelbaks and very rarely different load bearing vests.
I know of at least 1 guy who wore the Seals action gear Cadpat Battle vest on exercise without getting written up. |
