My blues have the golden Eagle globe and anchor on the collar, I mean you have to put it on there but you get issued them.

Definently not issued that way, he was mistaken or just plain dumb. I was just issued mine (graduated last friday) and had to put the Eagle Globe and Anchors on the collar. The Eagle Globe and Anchors are issued to you at the same time, you just have to put them on there.

Sgt you haven't been out that long! The proper thing would have been to call him aside, in private, and explained it to him. He would have appreciated it I am sure. The next time he may not be so lucky as to have a Marine like you that sees him that way!

Semper Fi.

There have been so many uniform changes as late though,....WMs barracks covers, PT gears, boots, shoes. I would triple guess myself in that spot, but I wouldn't let im get away with it twice.

I would tell im
"God knows what you are doing. As an NCO in the Corps, he doesn't approve, nor do I":D

I'm with you on that one, even if the regs have changed that one is too odd to not say something in my opinion. I'd honestly rather say something and be told it was changed then not say anything at all. Especially considering we're talking about wearing the dress blues in public.

We had a kid fresh out of boot, showed up to help our Toys for Tots without the EGA on his blues. At least he admitted he forgot to put them on and didn't come up with some lie or worthless excuse

God would not have minded if you corrected one of his guards at his house.
