Marine Corps Uniforms
More trivia/information for poolees:
Examples of the Marine Corps Uniforms can be found at:
http://www.marcorsyscom.usmc.mil/sit...orm_plates.htm
However, these pictures don't distinguish the names for each variation. The only uniforms with variants are the Blue and Service uniforms. The key to remember is that the Alpha uniform of each is most formal and gets less formal as we go from Bravo to Delta.
Service Alpha
Green trousers, Long Sleeve Khaki Blouse with tie, Green Coat with Ribbons and Badges.
Service Bravo
Green trousers, Long Sleeve Khaki Blouse with tie, with Ribbons, badges optional.
Service Charlie
Green trousers, Short Sleeve Khaki Blouse, with Ribbons, badges optional.
Blue Alpha
Blue trousers, Blue coat, with Ribbons and Medals.
Blue Bravo
Blue trousers, Blue coat, with Ribbons and Badges
Blue Charlie
Blue trousers, Long Sleeve Khaki Blouse with tie, with Ribbons, badges optional.
Blue Delta
Blue trousers, Short Sleeve Khaki Blouse, with Ribbons, badges optional.
Fellow Marines, please feel free to elaborate.

2 questions:
What are the rules on sleeves up and sleeves down for cammies?
and
I've heard differing reports. Are Dress blues being issued at boot or no?

Reports differ because they differ by duty station. The main constants are, summer=sleeves up, winter or in field, sleeves down.
I haven't heard solid confirmation on blues being issued, yet. However, if it were to happen, they would be issued but the cost would be deducted from your pay.
Side note: The proper term for that uniform is Utilities. Can one of the new Marines answer this. Are you still calling them cammies? or insisting on using the term MARPATs?

We always refer to them as cammies. We'll say greens or deserts when it needs to be said. But besides that...cammies.

I noticed the Sergeant Major insignia is missing from the enlisted chart and the CWO5 insignia is not on the officer chart. Is there a reason for this, or did somebody just make a mistake?

CWO5 is no longer granted in the Corps.
Everyone is allowed the option to purchase the Blues so that they can wear them after graduation. However, the question was when they will be issued, meaning everyone is forced to get them.

Congrats to you Covey, it's hard to believe you're 18, you certainly don't conduct yourself like a teenager. I guess that and your hard work is why the Corps decided to make you an NCO. You deserve it, good job Marine.

I am 99.9% thats the updated regulations, but hopefully a Marine can correct anything those don't cover.

The latest word that I have heard concerning dress blues. Is that they will start issueing them in boot camp starting 1 Oct. Any Marine that joined before that time that is still serving, will get an increased uniform allowance and it will be mandatory for Marines to purchase a set of blues if they do not already own them.
Thank you everybody on the congradulations...the wet down is going this friday night. Anybody out in oki is free to join! Doubt that there is anybody here on this site that is in oki...but I'll toss it out there anyways. I swear that somebody came into my room overnight and start swinging a baseball bat at my legs...can't explain it lol.
