I find it very hard to believe that this can be blamed entirely on COVID, and not on several people in the supply chain that were not proactive. We're in Q4 of 2023, the pandemic excuse doesn't work anymore, somebody fucked-up Marines Authorized to Wear Desert Pattern Uniform at Commanders' Discretion Amid Cammie Shortage

What in the Hell is going on, someone has dropped the ball. I bet the Commandant and SgtMaj of the Marine Corps have plenty. | |||

Wait, what? |
This is beyond embarrassing. “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

Well, they could go back to wearing Class Bs or whatever was worn when not in the field prior to cammo being worn everywhere. | |||

That was my thought, they can just wear their Charlie's when not out in the field. | |||

The problem with wearing dress uniforms (Alpha's, Bravos and or Charlies or Blues) for that matter is that its not practical with certain MOS's. Admin types yes but I don't think it would be ok for say a Motor T Mechanic, Grunt, Supply etc... Their are a lot of work environments that do wear A, B and C or modified Blues uniforms daily or even coveralls or street clothes example Embassy duty. The chain of command needs to take ownership of the fuckup and deal with it ASAP. Just the opinion from an old Marine who's been there and done that. SSgt USMC 1977-1985 | |||

It feels like the Carter administration all over again. Couldn’t get a helicopter to fly. I’m surprised China hasn’t invaded at this point. I guess they are waiting for our own government to disarm us first. ----------------------------------------- Roll Tide! Glock Certified Armorer NRA Certified Firearms Instructor | |||

It's a good thing R Lee Ermey is not around any longer, Gunny Hartman would have had a few words with the supply people that screwed this one up:  | |||

Seems to be plenty of OCP available. Am too I simple to understand? "We're all travelers in this world. From the sweet grass to the packing house. Birth 'til death. We travel between the eternities." | |||

Yea, I remember that shit. Couldn't take all six howitzers out for training; either not enough people or lack of $$ for Class IX. _________________________________________________________________________ “A man’s treatment of a dog is no indication of the man’s nature, but his treatment of a cat is.

I heard the new shipment has arrived ordered by one of the woke generals. The design prototype photo was found tucked deeply in an E-tank manual.  ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

Just go to the Zelensky military surplus store, or Taliban surplus in Afghanistan, these places have everything we need to equip our military. No one's life, liberty or property is safe while the legislature is in session.- Mark Twain | |||

Seems like plenty of incompetence and lack of planning to go around on this - all the way up to the Commander in Chief (that's sort of the reason for that title). Good thing they don't have to plan something like the logistics of taking back a bunch of islands in the Pacific. Looks even worse when you don't have the replacement clothes available.
Yea sure, because no one in the federal government grasped the concept that shutting something down meant that nothing was being produced.

I've been there and done that to. My point was that for decades each branch of the service was able to get along without everyone wearing cammo all the time in every job. In my opinion it should never have changed to what it is now. | |||

Everyone needs to remember that camo is just the pattern which has become like a generic name. The actual correct name of the uniform are Utilities... I started out in boot camp I was issuied 4 sets of utilities 2 cammo ( the lighter green Nam era version with the slanted pockets and 2 sets of Sateens ( not the herringbone ) I'm not that old Corps. | |||

That's an Army/AF design and pattern The USMC MARPAT is actually trademarked with the EGA: Authentic MARPAT material is distinguishable by a miniature "Eagle, Globe, and Anchor" emblem incorporated into the pattern above the letters "USMC", in both the woodland and desert patterns  | |||

I do understand the difference. I don't understand the why. Mostly kidding. "We're all travelers in this world. From the sweet grass to the packing house. Birth 'til death. We travel between the eternities." | |||
