Corrected entry: When Catherine's father walks through the corridor of the military base, on his way to the first test of the flying Hunter Killers, he is accompanied by a female civilian employee who is wearing a yellow blouse and you can see a fair bit of cleavage. Civilian employees on US military bases are required to dress modestly, and she is showing too much cleavage. The US military is utterly rigid in imposing their dress codes on civilians and she'd be ordered to button up.
Plot hole: It makes absolutely no sense why the Terminator, who is a programmed killer, chooses not to kill anyone in this film. In Terminator 2, he didn't kill because John, who was his master, ordered him not to. In this film, we learn that John is not his master. Kate Brewster is. And she spends most of her time complaining and trying to escape from John and the Terminator. She certainly wasn't gonna bother giving the Terminator a pep talk on no killing. So it just remains a plot hole.
Suggested correction: Kate Brewster told the Terminator not to kill when she reprogrammed him in the future. It's a logical order to give since its mission is to protect. It's likely John gave her that idea in the future when telling her about the terminator from T-2 (before he died of course) who he gave the same order to.
I agree, but it is also possible that Kate programmed him not to kill anyone.
That's what I said.
Correction: While she might be asked to button herself up, there is no way they would go to such a huge fuss for two buttons. Perhaps if she was wearing no clothes or hardly any they might be more concerned but this sort of mistake is only probable, not certain.

It is not the number of buttons that counts, it is the amount of cleavage on display. If she showed up in a low-cut one-piece blouse with no buttons but the same amount of cleavage showing, she'd be sent home to change. I know from experience that the US military is merciless in rigidly imposing dress codes on all civilian employees.
The correction is utterly wrong. The US military is ultra strict regarding the dress standards of civilian employees. Exposed cleavage? High heels? Above the knee skirts? No, absolutely not. It is beyond question that the woman in the yellow blouse would be ordered to button up before she was allowed on site. There are strict dress standards for males, too, but obviously they have different criteria.
