@USMCmom005 I graduated Feb 6th 2004 btw.
-
@USMCmom005 I didn't get dress blues after grad, I got "bought" everything else with my pay at PI (nothing was free). My graduation uniform were the Alpha's.

All Marines are now issued 1 Set of Blues at Recruit Training. Reference MARADMIN 504/07 Paragraph 3 Sub-Paragraph D.
-
Sorry, but that's not true--only the top recruit is given dress blues--everyone else must buy them (they are optional as new recruits). Notice only one recruit is wearing dress blues per platoon.

@ebecker10 ah yes, gotta love it, everything comes out of their own pockets..WTG WASHINGTON! NOT
-
@thecolaratlady The dress blue coat is still issued to everyone. However, only the guide gets to wear it during the graduation ceremony. That also means he gets to spend an extra hundred bucks or so out of his own pocket buying the leather barracks cover (the ones issued are cloth) and a poopton of anodized buttons for the coat and even gets to sew them on himself. Fun stuff.

@USMCmom005 Amen sweetie

do all marines get dress blues, or is it just officers?
loriesnyder 2 years ago
All Marines get their dress blues right after graduation. Before you leave the recruit depot on the last day, you will go pick them up. The red stripe, (called the blood stripe) is given once you reach the rank of corporal.

@USMCmom005 is there a reason they are not wearing the coat/jacket that commes with the dress blues?
2JuiceBoxBoys 7 months ago
@2JuiceBoxBoys The blue trousers, khaki shirt and white cover is considered the "Delta" uniform - you'll see Recruiters wearing this uniform when it's too hot to wear the full Dress Blue uniform or when they're working. On formal occasions, they will wear the full Dress Blue uniform.
At graduation - the graduate may wear the Delta uniform because of weather conditions. The graduation uniform changes based on the commands recognition of severe weather, either hot or cold,
