Active Duty and Reserves 50’s and 60’s. The only camos were for snipers and some recon guys. In Korea 52-53 and never saw any camo. All of field clothing and equipment was left over from WWII. Back in the States we had decent looking duds without paying all that much.

Marine Corps, no cammies mean the service Charlie uniform for work. Khaki blouse, green trou, piss cutter and corfam shoes. Depending where you get it, $200-300 for officers after rank insignia/devices. Has to be dry cleaned. So at a minimum, you’ll need three of them. Alternative is the Alpha $500-600. Most remove the ‘jacket’ since there is no way it can be used for inspection if you can reach above your waist. Current cami uniform is about $100 and even in an office environment gets dinged. Scuffed corfams no way. Problems is there is no way at a unit level to have office work without screwing up your shoes so they are useless for inspections every other week.
