View Full Version : Order information on Drinking.
I am looking for the order that states underage Marines are allowed to drink at certain functions such as the Marine Corps ball, Mess night and other events.

Drinking age for Military personnel is drinking age of the state you happen to be in, period.
that is not the case if you would like to the Marine Corps Times Article published in 2007
http://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/2007/05/marine_alcohol_070511/
that states at Base Command Functions such as the Marine Corps ball Underage Marines may drink at the discrestion of the base commander.
I am not refering to a underage Marine Drinking out in town, because that falls under local and state laws however it is different on a Millitary installation and in some base overseas.
oh and by the way there is a MarAdmin on is which is
MarAdmin 266/07

Yessir.
when I was 20 and straight out of boot in Oct. 86,
The C.O. authorized us boots to be able to drink at the Ball.
This was in Texas at the time and The ball was in Dallas.
What I remember of it was very fun:thumbup:

What your referring to is the order dropping the Drinking age from 21 to 18.
18 is Not a Minor or Underage...................

Happy Birthday Smitty !!!
Sorry about that I was looking for an ORDER not a MarAdmin but since i found the MarAdmin i think it will work but what i meant was is there an order that states that on base at military functions Underage Marines could drink at the base commanders discrestion
Guess you really didn't look very hard,there is a DOD instructon with specific requirements for those under 21 (i.e. 18 years of age) to consume alcoholic beverages on miitary bases.
