    In 1968 when I graduated from Parris Island we were also issued one woolen heavy duty green overcoat. I wore it all the time in the winter months over the green wool dress uniform. Plus we had one pair of black dress gloves that were lined with rabbit fur. The dress blues came with one pair of white gloves also.

    Dude, I’m having a problem with you saying “issued”. Starting in boot camp we had to buy all of our uniforms. When we got our pay chit book they had already torn out the equivalent amount of the cost of everything we got. The only thing I was “issued” was combat gear and had to give that back. Never knew a single guy who had blues. ‘66-‘70.

    We were not issued the long dress green cold weather wool coat in boot camp, because they were out of stock. When I returned from ‘Nam (Vietnam), I was first assigned to Base Troops at Camp Del Mar (21 Area), where there were no wall locker, personnel, rifle, or Junk on the Bunk inspections, thus that coat was not necessary, however later I was transferred to FMF (Fleet Marine Force) Troops at 22 Area, which was strack as hell, with weekly personnel, and rifle inspections, and wall locker, and Junk on the Bunk inspections every couple of months. During my first wall locker inspection, it was discovered that I did not have that coat, and I was immediately ordered to buy on, which would have cost me around $40 at that time, which was a heck of a lot of money at that time considering the fact that as a L/Cpl with under two years in the Corps,I was only earning $130 a month. Yeah. It may sound corny, but in those days, we did not serve for money, but for love of, and duty toward our country. None of us ever expected to own a car while in the Corps,unless our parents bought it for us, and marriage was out of the question, below the rank of Staff Sergeant. We all lived in open squad bay barracks, just as I imagine Marines did in 1775, not private two man rooms as today, thus TVs were impossible to own, and cell phones, and computers were not yet invented. Our only furniture consisted of a wall locker half, a WW2 wood footlocker, and our blankets were WW2 green wool, stamped in huge letters, “USMC”. The Corps paid us enough to purchase shoe polish, and brasso metal polish. Everything else was free, and that was all we expected.

    @1337penguinman Před 3 lety

    Similar to how the Navy uniforms were when I was in, except back then we had white and blue versions of all of our dress uniforms. Once I got stationed out of Hawaii, the blues went into the closet and never came out ever again. I would usually keep one of each out just in case for deployments in case we went somewhere cold where we had to dress up for some reason, but being a sub guy 95% of the time I was in coveralls. Also, we wore our version of the all weather jacket all the time, at least in climates where it rained. The peacoat was the one nobody ever wore unless they could find some excuse. Shame, too, because that thing was nice. I actually never bothered to get my rate sewed on mine so I could wear it out with my civilian clothes.

Now the grey all weather coat was worn over any uniform even the bdu uniform you could also wear the wooly pully with any uniform as well I did and the Marine Corps did wear this on rainy days mostly Fridays was the standard uniform of the day depending on time of season Service Charlies short or long sleeve if long sleeve time of year you had to wear the Alfa blouse as well. The only people I can remember not wearing the Friday dress uniform was motor transport, Armorers or others doing strenuous duties. So yes it was worn a lot but that was a different time when we wore rank on our camouflaged covers and our Cammie's had the EGA and USMC underneath on the left breast pocket any how Semper FI new gen Marine!

    That trench coat looks good. I woulda traded a left nut to have one when we got deployed to ROKMCB, PoHang Korea in '76. [Exercise Solid Shield?] We shipped out of Kadena AB, Oki, where it was warm and balmy, to Korea with some northeaster weather shifting in from Siberia. Colder than Upper Michigan, even if it was summer. I had a rubberized green nylon raincoat that had zero insulation over green sateen utilities. No Field jacket. Field jackets [M-65] were organizational gear, not individual issue. It was summer anyway. Ours were back at Iwakuni. Froze my butt, until we got liberty in town, and some papasan tailored me an MA-1 style flying jacket out of ROK Marine silk ''frogskin'' camo, with a 1'' kapok liner. $10 greenbacks. Wore it in camp, but couldn't wear the jacket in uniform once I got back to the rear. Still have it. Semper Fi.

    I will say, the service alpha jackets look so clean and iconic. That’s what I love about marines. Same dress uniforms forever opposed to other branches that always change or just don’t look as good

    I have to agree with those guys here who mentioned lower body, and leg strength as critical in making it through Boot Camp. Half of our platoon suffered excruciating pain, being forced to march with large, bleeding blisters. Little mercy was shown. Also, in Boot Camp, one is afforded very little sleep time, yet almost all of us laid awake for hours at night, during our first weeks, unable to sleep due to severe leg cramps. Spare yourself a lot of pain, and suffering! Run, run, run, run for months before Boot Camp!

    My son just graduated. Several people want him to visit in his uniform, but I know there is regulations about that stuff. The dress blues, I think is too much for going to the store or even church. They are very nice but I'm concerned about getting them dirty. What is your recommendation?

    Here's an oldie for you. In the mid-'50's we were issued short "Ike" jackets along with our dress greens. I liked the look, but the powers that be didn't like us wearing them and they were discontinued...probably by the early '60's. That combination looked very WW2.

    What do you wear as summer uniform? In pre-Vietnam (1959-1962), we wore tropicals (mohair shirt and trousers). The shirt was worn under winter greens. Gloves were always carried. Rarely wore khakis; except in base admin.

    How many of the same uniform should a Marine have? 2 of each? How about deployment in battle areas? I'd imagine is hard to manage especially where laundry is hard to come by? (Can you order more than what you are issued?)

    I served 1982-1986. Our raincoat was not that light color. It was dark green. We had 2 acceptable cammo uniforms. One from the Vietnam era called a "popland" and the new (at that time) "woodland".
    We didn't have a barracks cover like yours. We had a cloth "piss cutter". Dress Blues were the same. We had a heavy winter coat called a "Russian overcoat" that was dark green and it did look like a Russian overcoat.
    I believe we had very strict cammo uniform rules. You could only wear them on base unless you were traveling to/from your home. You couldn't stop off for gas or a small quick mart in cammos. We did stop off at drive-in food places in the middle of the night, never getting out of the car. That was tolerated.
