Comment on MARADMIN 621/11: USMC UTILITY SLEEVES DOWN-YEAR ROUND

WE are becoming more like the Army everyday. Marines have a tradition of wearing sleeves down in the spring and summer per their CO. Most now are combat veterans and have earned this right for state side duty per their CO.
Let us be the Marines and not like the Army. Semper Fi.

Comment on US Military Uniforms MADE IN THE USA

I believe all American flags should apply in this case. american flags should not be made anywhere but in the USA. I would carry it a step farther and have ANY item with the image of the flag on it, be made in America.

The best you can do is to go see your local recruiter. If it turns out to be an issue, ask them to apply for a waiver/exception to policy from their higher headquarters.

I have an "a" branded into my right arm. Its smaller than my thumb, and has no gang affiliation. Its something stupid I did when I was younger "a" for addy. Will this be a problem when I try to enlist?

I would carry the cold weather stuff. To me its better to have it than not. I am deploying in October after a JRTC rotation and I am still working out my pack. Try to consolidate and mailing to yourself works well.

I am getting deployed in a couple of days and they gave us a checklist of the stuff that we should have. I was wondering if I should bring my cold weather gear with me. It's a lot of stuff that occupy a whole duffel bag. I don't want to carry too much stuff. I already have one duffel bag and one pelican case and my rucksack and of course a carry-on bag. That makes them 4 bags. I would appreciate it if somebody can help in answering my questions. Thanks.

Ranger rolled caps are not authorized so why show a video promoting dress and appearance standards with a Ssgt wearing a ranger rolled cap?

before making a video about a website that helps clear up the dress and appearance questions it would be nice to make sure every individual in the video meets the dress and appearance standards, the Ssgt manning the stop watch has his hat "ranger rolled".

I never imagined that it's this complicated. To a civilian like me, all these sound so overwhelming. I admire the military's efforts and bravery! Kudos!
