It will probably only apply to Corpsmen. Even then they are pros at BSing their way out of trouble with the Marines. I don't see why they are giving all of you guys our uniforms though, I would think only the sailors serving with us should need them (Or even have them).
Stonefly - You don't like the name tapes? I like them but it is kind of funny how they are at an angle now
That's another thing that separates a Marine serving in combat from a garrison Marine. For us (Infantry) we are issued a bunch of cammies without name tapes before the deployment. Most of us only take one pair of taped ones for the return home and don't wear them the whole deployment. I can really tell by looking through my closet which cammies I wore in Iraq, they look terrible
