It's a f*#!ing uniform. Not part of your damn wardrobe.

The Marine Corps has rules and regulations on the wearing of uniforms by Marines on Active/Reserve duty. There have been limited instances of the Corps going after veterans for wearing parts or pieces of the uniforms in a manner viewed to discredit the Marine Corps. For instance you show up to a flag burning , anti war protest wearing your dress blue jacket and trousers, even with no rank, insignia, or medals,ribbons, or badges if the Corps figures out that the individual was a Marine charges can be brought, including revoking someone's honorable discharge.

Different scenario but falls under the same rules and regs, I decide to take a shooting class and wear my FROG tops or bottoms, or my CWU 27 flight suit, or I wear MARPAT trousers on a construction sire or while hunting. I'm techicaly violating the uniforms rules but not discrediting the service or dis honouring the uniform. It's that whole spirit of the law letter of the law thing. I will sometimes wear parts of my uniform but never in a way to disrespect the Service of the Marines still serving or that have served in the past.
