Im in the US Navy and I often see sailors wearing the Marine Corps digital bdus and I was wondering who is authorized to wear them and what are the regs on it? As far as the collar devices and what not?

As long as you're specifically attached to a Marine Unit or Batallion then you are authorized to wear the MARPAT. Our Company Devil Docs, Batallion Chaplain, and Battalion Medical staff wear the MARPAT. The difference is that they don't have Eagle, Globe, and Anchor/USMC embedded in the MARPAT.
The collar devices are of the Medical Corps, Nurse Corps, Dental Corps, and Chaplain's Corps (all staff officer). The Corpsman collar device is also worn.

Sailors Don't wear Marine BDU's, they wear Navy BDU's. There are lots of situations wear Sailors wear BDU's. Hospital Corpsmen wear them, Master at Arms wear them and anyone else assigned to security detail or people on their way over to Iraq to augment the forces there. Collar devices and uniform wear for Navy BDU's can be found by reading the Navy Uniform Regulations.

Those Naval personnel attached to the Marine Corps in official capacity such as a corpsman or an MA wear the Marine uniform with Navy insignias.

Corpsmen or anyone that has trained with the Marines. Corpsmen can wear them because they've earned them. Master at Arms are not allowed to wear digie cams unless they were trained with marines, they have to wear navy issued Cammi's.. The collar devices are Navy of course

The only people in the Navy that are authorized to wear the Marine Corps digis and collar devices are Corpsmans, and RP's.
