There's a uniform store on USMC.MIL. You can buy them there and have them delivered in 1 day if you pay an extra 10 bucks, which I'm guessing you might want to do.

You have to report in a uniform article that wasn't issued? That seems strange. Anyway, the usmc.mil store is probably a good place to look. If you do a google search you can find several places that sell uniform items- but the delivery times may not be fast enough.

Since you are in nonya California are you near any Marine Corps installations? Or a Navy installation? It makes it rough when you don't get all of your uniforms. We don't know your complete stituation so maybe you need to re-evaluate your situation and think. Update your profile Marine. And congratulations on becoming a Marine.

Maybe I missed something, you mean shoes/pumps? Girl are you out of your mind? I think you should get to graduating bootcamp first, right? Pay attention to the 1st obstacle, IMO. Is your profile not updated? Are you a Marine already waiting to go to MCT? Don't look like that to me?
And nice pic gunslinger but time for some free advice, if you want to shoot that rifle and hit something, instead of just looking pirty you should take your elbow/arm (the one the rifle is in) and drop it, crank it down, your goal in that position is to get the tip of your elbow pointing towards the deck or ground, not hanging out to the right or left. I know WM's have some issues up top there but you still can't leave that arm hanging out there like that. Why? ~ 1) dropping the elbow down creates more stability/closes the gap by cinching the rifle down into your shoulder pocket, where it should be. And 2) most importantly, if you enter a room you might whack it on a doorway. But that isn't likely to happen so just drop your elbow down and it will help you shoot better.

Not to brag or anything but I have shot pretty much every nato and warsaw pac weapon that was around in the late 70s and early 80's and you can correct me if I am wrong but none of them had an orange flash supressor on them. And i will say this, If you can hit a moving target at 700 yards with pumps on, You can be in my squad any time. Oooorah and go get em tiger.

OH kk is that what pumps are i was scratching my head thinking of what a pump could be.
Generally you could go to any uniform store, even the PX navy army whatever branch or base.and get ya some bates.

I think it's one of those airsof or rubber pellet gun thingys, good catch I saw that too. Since I have more information now, I assume that pic is also pre Marine Corps and hopefully someone at PI or SD fixed her? Although I've seen guy/girls shoot with the elbow out and be lights out, tactically speaking it's a bad habit/position, IMO. I have a good story about those rubber pellets guns from Oki also but I'll move that to the other post.

Me too! I was thinking there must be some kind of new gear I haven't heard of yet. LOL.
Yeah, I think it is an airsoft gun too.

Wow,
Need new shoes? Get advice on shooting and everything in between. If that is an Airsoft weapon....it looks menacing. I would post a pic with camouflage paint on the face myself. If you like I will privately screen them.... ;) --just playing....kinda
I would go to your nearest MCX/NCX or call for a referral if you need them quicky. That is your best bet. Even an Army installation may have what you are looking for....just make sure you know what you need.
I went to a Navy installation as a PVT to get a new shirt....bought one, but it had extra notches in the collar....and the chief did NOT like being called sir. Good Luck!

As in what do uniforms do WM's graduate in these days?
If they isssue 4th BN with skirts as basic uniform issue, why not the black pumps?

Girl! Just go to the local shoe store nearest you and buy a dang pair of pumps. I know the ones that were issued to us (waaaaaaay back when) sucked BIG TIME - I just found a nice pair that I liked somewhere else and wore them.

Why didn't you get pumps in boot camp? They made us buy ours at the 4th BN beauty shop during our second PX call. I just can't believe you went through boot camp and never bought them. We had them and kept them on the shelves behind our racks in marked boxes.

Hmmm...not issued the proper shoes, bad elbow position on the weapon, Army BCT? My spider-senses are tingling.

Something doesn't seem right, I see what you're saying Yellowwing. I went back and looked at some prior posts and it doesn't add up, she left to go to bootcamp on the 9th of July, a Monday. Assuming there's a typical week of receiving, that means she started "official" training on the 16th of July on the following Monday. I don't know if they start on Mondays I'm just assuming but? 13 weeks after that (it's still 13 weeks right) is October 15th, this Monday. How did you graduate already? And you came back and your first words on this site as a US Marine is I need help with my pumps? Maybe my math is off or bootcamp was shortened. But combine that with some other questionable things, and I'm with Yellow. A prep school student but the grammar and spelling of an 8th grader? Not ever capitalizing the M in Marine. I wonder, stinks that you have to, where you at Chenny? And the whole noneya thing, is that slang for none of your business? Cute but I still don't get it. I'd call her recruiter myself but that is vague also. Something isn't smelling right,,,,,

And she hasn't logged back on, since asking for help yesterday? If I ask for help, especially something important like pumps (like a fine remington870) then I'm coming back for answers. I'd hate to be wrong if she earned the title but,,,,,

I didnt get my pumps at the px at 4th BN because we were not told to buy them tyll last minute and by the time all of us went to the px it was closed, that was on graduation day. And secondly for those who did try to help and not just talk about me thank you it helped I finally got my pumps it was hard but once I knew were to get them I told all my boot buddies were they could get them so thanx!!!!
