Hey Marine! I think you picked up your sister's cover by accident.
|
|
Can we just go ahead and disband the Marines already?
Preferably before we get a transgendered airwinger Commandant wearing that hat.
|
|
It's not like Marines haven't worn almost the exact same thing in the past.
Whether or not you like the looks of the cover is one thing, but the proposed cover has a history with the Corps. |

Look at this loser only wearing three medals (it's a joke about how everybody has a lot these days don't kill me). View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes LoL Is that a DSC on his chest?

Kind of retro, isn't it? But I can't see any reason to change. I guess I'll just have to view my old blues cover like I view my green jungle boots.

Putrid in white. And don't forget, those were service caps ie work uniform caps, not Class "A" dress caps. |

They picked the perfect background and model to make this as mockable as possible. Give us a contrasting background so we can see the edges and swap the models and it wouldn't look nearly as bad. View Quote Yup - almost looks like someone is employing little tricks to sabotage what they think (rightfully so, really) is asinine. Let's have the goofy kid who looks like a fat lesbian in makeup wear the stupid new hat! Win! |

Retro look is cool but not in white. Leave shit alone. It's bad enough that they run in sneakers in boot camp. Next thing you know Marines will be in gay ass berets.

bwahahahahaaha eta: just saw its from duffleblog. too bad. |

I always thought the Mexican-American War had the best US uniforms. That hat was cool. http://hotchkissfamily.lbbhost.com/images/MexAm_Quitman.JPG http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6111/6342916975_1a24566385_m.jpg http://media.dma.mil/2012/Nov/14/2000001197/450/300/0/121108-M-EY704-222.JPG View Quote The 1840s on up to the dawn of the Civil War was the high water mark, indeed. It's interesting to me how many academies, ceremonial units, etc. all over the world stull use uniforms patterned after that era - not to mention marching bands. |

One would have thought that infamous debut of the ACU to the public was intentionally meant to sabotage it - highlighted brightly against the wooded backdrop, high contrast with the woodland web gear... That didn't work, though. |

I know Sgt that have that many. Yup, you're a Marine. Son Bitch I was walking into one of the "one stop" check-in buildings on Lucy Brewer St. at Lejeune around 2005 or 2006 for something-probably to register my POV, and a MSgt and LCpl were walking out together as I was approaching the entrance. They both had their Alpha dress uniforms on, as is customary when you check in. The MSgt had about five rows of ribbons and looked fairly weathered. The LCpl had about four. He may have been a LCpl 2nd Award, but he was still young. Kind of like the RSO I met out at ETA-5 in May of 2005 when he scheduled a range inspection to get cleared from the range they occupied the previous day and finished with. He was a GySgt from 2nd Recon and looked about 24 years old-if that. War. |

All of the armed forces used to use that pattern of peaked cap or something very close to it back then, and then they all switched to the version with the larger crown used today. One thing that would be neat to see come back are the dress and special full dress uniforms officers used to wear. The USMC enlisted blue uniform and the USN/USCG officer's white uniform are the only two of the traditional dress uniforms to have survived after WWII. |
