Regular Member Undress Uniforms
Trousers - The Dress Blue trousers with the red NCO stripe are worn with the
Undress Uniform, along with the Marine Corps web belt and brass buckle. It
should be pointed out that the Dress Blue trousers have the red NCO stripe, not
the wider Officers stripe.
The Black Trousers (Optional) - Black trousers with a black belt and square gold
buckle with the Marine Corps Emblem may be optionally worn with both Undress
Uniforms. The belt can be either the wide leather belt or the narrow dress belt.
The wide leather belt is worn with the large square buckle with the Marine Corps
Emblem on it. The narrow dress belt with the smaller buckle, also having the
Marine Corps Emblem (rachet belt), satisfies the black dress belt option. The
trousers are purchased at any clothing store. The bottom of the cuff, should just
reach the top of the heel sole of the shoes.
Shirt - The Short Sleeve Undress Uniform shirt will be an aviator style shirt, with
two (2) button down breast pockets and shoulder epaulets. It will have a military
crease running top to bottom, centered on each pocket and three creases on
the back. The Marine Corps League Shoulder Patch is worn on the left
shoulder, centered on the crease, 1-1/2" down from the shoulder seam. The
Field Forward American Flag patch will be worn on the right shoulder, centered
on the crease, 1-1/2" down from the shoulder seam. The Sunburst Insignias are
worn on each collar, centered, 1/2" from both edges, with the eagles wings
parallel to the deck. The name tag may be worn above the right breast pocket,
centered and 1/8" above the top of the flap. Either Marine Corps League
ribbons or Department of Defense ribbons and badges may be worn above the
left breast pocket, centered, 1/8" above the top of the flap. Marine Corps
League and Department of Defense ribbons can't be mixed. Ribbons are to be
worn in rows not exceeding four ribbons per row, for multiple awards. If the top
row has fewer ribbons than the lower rows, they are to be centered on the lower
rows. The tie and tie bar are worn the same as the Casual Uniform.
