I guess I’ve been out too long, what happened to the
leg stripes? They represented the blood of the NCO’s.
Can’t say much for the white trow either.

Just spoke with my brother (active USMC) about red stripe on pants. The Marine would have to be ranked Corporal or higher to wear red stripe. It is NOT allowed on the white pants. I hope this helps!

It is the summer dress uniform. Obviously these Marines rate it based on their duty assignment, normally only SNCO/Officer uniform.
