As a prior Marine, am I allowed to wear U.S. Marines
tapes on my utilities? |
|

No and
yes.
If you are a prior enlisted Marine and have
serviceable woodland utilities with the Marine Corps emblem on the
pocket, they may be worn in the field only, and they will have US Navy
nametapes on them. All midshipmen will have at least 1 set of
utilities without the Marine Corps emblem for wear in garrison.

How many
sets of boots do I need and how effective are the issued Bates? |
|
| |
You will need at least 2 pairs of
boots. The Bates boots that you were issued at the Naval Academy have
some shortfalls, specifically poor ankle support and a sole that makes
it difficult to climb a rope. However, these boots can serve a
purpose--you would just have to apply some judgment in deciding for
which evolutions you will wear them. For some people the poor ankle
support and sole will not be an issue. For others, if nothing else, the
Bates issued boots could serve as a clean, dry, polished pair of boots
that you are able to put on to go to the classroom after having trashed
another pair of boots at PT.

What
is the policy concerning Underarmor? |
|
| |
Midshipmen may wear olive green
Underarmor shirts as long as the manner of wear makes them
indistinguishable from the standard green T-shirt. For example, a green
crew-neck Underarmor shirt may be worn underneath a camouflage utility
jacket. It may not be worn for PT without a blouse, since the Underarmor
logo on the chest will not be uniform with the standard green T-shirt.
Turtleneck Underarmor may not be worn at any time.
