Am I confused, or is the person who wrote this article? I understand no cammies off base, but then she starts talking about uniforms. They’re still allowed to wear their uniforms off base, just not their cammies. I grew up in Jacksonville, NC and that’s the way it always was, except now they can’t even pump gas or run an errand now, it seems. Are uniforms now banned off base, or is this journalist as ignorant as the ones that refer to Navy corpsmen as “medics”?

I grew up (and still live in) Jacksonville, NC, too. This was announced here a couple of months ago. It is really just an enforcement of a rule that has always been in place, but that, in recent years, the Marines had been abusing a little too much. Of course, they can wear their other uniforms off base, just not their cammies.
