Marine Cammies

Answer 3

There are several images of early Spanish Marine uniforms if searched on Bing. The early uniforms are not similar. The US Marines' uniform made a continuous procession until WWI when some Marines wore Army uniforms because the Marine Corps was rapidly expanding to fight WWI and the Banana Wars at the same time. This was the first time the Marine uniform looked similar to the Army uniform and they have had a green class A uniform since. Whether the Spanish Marines copied the US Marine might be ascertained with a search. People should take into account that the National Museum of the Marines sounds like an official museum. It is not, it is run by a civilian organization and not sanctioned by the US Marine Corps.

Answer 4

If the Marines are similar to the Air Force I can tell you what I know. The Air Force is strict about where you can wear the BDU's (basic work uniform). You can wear them off base only when you are getting from one place to another. If you stop briefly, like to drop a letter at the Post Office, no problem. You can not and should not wear them to meetings, store, restaurants, shopping, walking down the street, to party or any other area.
In your car is fine, stopping for 5 minutes or less is fine but anything more you are required to change your cothes.

Answer 5

Marines are not allowed to wear their digital camies in public places. When I was at Camp Lejuene the standing order was that they could only be worn in Navy Federal Credit Union. Also to go in and pay for gas or to run into a store to get something that was an emergency. Even then u still run the risk of getting your head bit off if you are seen in them.

Answer 6

I am not sure if it has changed, but I wore mine just about everywhere. On and off base, especially if you have to run errands at "lunch time". Some commands may hand down specific orders on it by base though.

While some of the other answers are interesting, here is the actual current order:

1. Commanders may prescribe the utility uniform as the uniform of the day, in accordance with the below guidance. The uniform is authorized for parades, reviews or other ceremonies, and informal social functions. The utility coat may be removed only for physical training and work details.

2. The utility uniform is a working uniform. Wear of the utility uniform is authorized while commuting to and from work to include all travel aboard DOD-owned/controlled aircraft. The utility uniform may also be worn for brief and appropriate stops off-base during duty hours or while commuting. In addition to emergency/maintenance stops, Marines are allowed to make brief, essential stops off-base during duty hours and while commuting to and from their place of duty, such as:
a. when dropping off/picking up children from daycare centers or school;
b. obtaining gas or other essential driving aids (wiper blades, snow chains, fluids, lights, etc.);
c. picking up/dropping off dry-cleaning;
d. off-base financial institutions; to include automatic teller machines; (ALMAR 107/96)
e. picking up vehicles at repair shops or gas stations;
f. at drive-thru windows where exiting the vehicle is not required; and,
g. at a convenience store or drug store solely for the purchase of emergency childcare or health products (milk, diapers, medicine, etc.).

3. Marines are prohibited from wearing the utility uniform as a liberty uniform off-base or during inappropriate circumstances such as:
a. at restaurants, pizza parlors, bars, lounges, etc.;

Answer 8

They cannot. Do you policemen wearing their uniforms on their days off? or firemen? NO. You must dress in your civies when on R&R.

Answer 9

Anywhere they want! Semper Fi!

Answer 10

Aren't "cammies" slang for camisoles?

"Cammos" for camouflage?
