And yes Gunny, the little NSD ribbon joke was a little jab, but at the same time I realize I don't have jack compared to you either, because you are a badass mother f'er. Semper Fi

Talk about digging up the old. As long as the young Devildog follows the MCO's on the wear of our uniforms, he will be fine. Is it the preferred method, no. As mentioned, a suit and tie is the preferred way.

Read the second part of that.

You cannot use your uniform to give (or appear to give) government credentials/approval to a private affair without prior approval from the Marine Corps.

In other words, there Devil Dog, you cannot wear your Dress Blue Deltas while working for Applebee's whilst you wait on tables or at a function where your promoting, say, Microsoft's products at a tech fair.

Looking for a job while representing only yourself is perfectly fine.

[0331 2 0369]

This is out of the MCO 1020.34G w/ch1-5:

1003. RESTRICTIONS ON WEARING UNIFORMS
1. Members of the Marine Corps and Marine Corps Reserve, including retired Marines, are prohibited from wearing the Marine Corps uniform while engaged in any of the following activities, functions or circumstances unless specifically authorized by the CMC (PA):

a. Soliciting funds for any purpose from the public outside
of a military base or establishment.

b. Participating in any type of show or event which is commercially sponsored for advertising purposes, where it could be implied or construed that the Marine Corps "endorses" the product advertised.

c. "Endorsing" commercial products in such ways as to involve the uniform, title, grade or rate, or in any way establish or imply their military affiliation with such products.

d. Appearing or participating in any event in public that would compromise the dignity of the uniform.

Since he is not doing any of the above, then he can wear the uniform if he so desires.

Gunny, with all due respect, I fail to see any sarcasm, unless you are being humble and you don't think of yourself as a BA mother f'er. But really Gunny, you're an awesome Marine, and I have the utmost respect for you

[ameriken]

Agree with the suit and tie and the reasoning being the employer wants to know how well you'll represent them in the civ world.

[Alisium]

First, since you live in the beautiful city of Phoenix with such areas as Tempe full of inhumanly gorgeous college girls, you can go f*ck yourself.

Secondly. I don't know of any "upscale" areas in Phoenix however, if there is one, like La Jolla in SoCal, it might be a bit humbling but not a bad idea to hit a thrift store close by. They usually have the more expensive suits. The kind you would never be able to afford as a college student. They are dirt cheap and in good condition. Cause it's a thrift store near a rich town, get it? Buy it, get it tailored, and you'll look like a million dollars for about $25.

Anything that gives you the edge in this economy or ever.

Obviously I took you remarks wrong killer. That is usually how people throw around their sarcasm. As for being humble..... I have never been one for drawing attention to myself unless it is during training or times of war. I never needed to be rewarded..... I got that twice a month.

scottsdale, is a hoydeetoydee town,just right up the road from tempe.
