I don’t understand the ban on uniforms, by any branch, off base. Is this a hold over from the poor treatment of military in past decades?
Are they afraid they will disgrace the uniform?
What a lot of people don’t seem to understand is that all uniforms are not banned off base, only “work clothes” which is how cammies, BDUs, fatigues, whatever you want to call them are viewed, like how many flight crew do you see wearing their flight suit off base? No regulation has been changed, they are simply beginning to enforce it again
Are you kidding?
Any Marine who would think of disgracing the uniform is disgracing the Corps.
Marines are Marines, obeying regs is a pretty distinguishing characteristic that sets them apart (and it seems to have worked fairly well over the last couple hundred years).
