That’s the point, in camis or fatigues, a Marine can look just as sloppy as an Air Force Airman (okay, maybe not quite as sloppy unless he slept in his clothes for a week).

This is not something new, it goes with Marine tradition to not only be the proud , the few, but to look it too.

Well, the article just came out as reading they have to hide the fact they are Marines.

I can see urging them to wear a dress uniform off base but not requiring it for a quick stop at burger-doodle.

If a solider is active duty they should look like it IMHO and that would include any issued uniform suitable for the occasion.
BDU’s should be fine for Walmart and burger doodle.
