QUANTICO, VA - The Commandant of the Marine Corps released an administrative message yesterday, indicating that all Marines would be required to wear service uniforms at all times, effective immediately.

Marines in cold weather climates are required to wear the Service 'B' uniform, known as “Bravos,” which include the long-sleeve khaki shirt with a tie and green trousers. The Service 'C' uniform, known as “Charlies,” consisting of short-sleeve khaki shirt with trousers, will be required in warmer locales.

Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps Michael Barrett spoke for the Commandant about the decision.
