On Sgt. Grits message board, Dress Blues Delta are short sleeve and Dress Blues Alphas, ribbons and badges are authorized.
If you not wearing anything other than the short sleeve, I guess you might wear ribbons and badges.
I wasn't able to find anything other than what I found on Sgt. Grits message board through google...
But I might be wrong...someone will correct it, if I am wrong...

Thanks. I was trying to change my settings and everything but 3 months of confinement has made me a little slow with computers.

Well MillRat, I know service c's you just wear ribbons, so I'll just wear my ribbons for now unless told otherwise. Thanks for your help.

You can wear either Ribbons and Badges or just Ribbons, it's optional. That's how it was when I was on Recruiting Duty, if you're on leave just ask your Recruiter to verify or follow this link to Marine Corps Uniform Regulations (http://www.usmc.mil/directiv.nsf/0dce83e13c9c8aa685256c0c0066c2e0/6d62f5fbea2cc03a85256850005ee8de?OpenDocument)

Semper Fi and Congratulations on Earning the Title!

Congrats Marine...the fire watch ribbon was all I got when I graduated (67)

[Recruit Drake]

Thanks everyone, I graduated from PI 3rd bn M co. The best of the best:)

National Defense Ribbon, just one. Like I said, 3 months has made me a little slow, I have a hard time putting my belt on. :) There also issueing a new medal, for war on terrorism, so us little jarheads get a little decoration, but I'll earn it at itb. And in March there sending a new rotation. Nobody wants war, but I joined to help my brothers and sisters and by March I'll be ready.

Congratulations Marine. Welcome aboard

[grayshade]

Congrats on joining the Brotherhood there, Drake. I'm an ol' 3rd Bn man myself, 2036 India Co., P.I. will make ya or break ya. Gotta love those sandfleas, they give a whole different meaning to discipline. Enjoy your years in the Corps, keep your head up, keep your nose clean, and drink responsibly for goodness sake.
Remember not to use these dirty words when it comes to tasks at hand, "can't" and "impossible", these words are unsat. Good luck in Iraq, don't get dead. Semper Fi!

helz yeah...congrats, you think that frikin stuff is difficult, wait till you have to try and put on two marksman ship badges and more ribbons, i was never able to figure it out, still dont know how to put that damn pistol badge on...welcom to the few Marine

[snipowsky]

You get a GWOT ribbon and medal just for going to ITB? WTF! That's bulls**t! How can this be? You haven't even faced the enemy of Al-Queda or an Iraqi insurgent? What's up with that?

By the way, welcome to the family Marine!

[CPLRapoza]

Dress Blue Alphas are to only display the Large Medals on the left side and ribbons not rating a medal on the right side, No badges are to be worn. This uniform is only prescribed for formal events.

Dress Blue Bravos is the dress blue blouse, but were ribbons and badges are allowed for wear on the left side of the uniform.

Dress Blue Charlie, is long sleeve and tie. Only ribbons will be worn, and the same goes for Dress Blue Deltas, which is the short sleeve shirt.

[CPLRapoza]

ITB does not rate the GWOT. becasue you are still at a school status. Once you get to your unit depending on which unit it is, you must be there for a minimum for 30 days before you rate it. And even then it is only the the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal (GWOTSM) not the Global war on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal (GWOTEM). Marine Security Guards also rate the GWOTSM.

Great Choice, Wish U lots of Luck. Keep the Spirit of the Marine Corps. God Bless U. Semper Fi.

[Pvt Drake]

Thanks for the welcome, I'm out to itb on Tuesday. I'm actually excited to train this time around.
