What is the regulation preventing US Marines from wearing MARPAT cammies out in town?

From the USMC Uniform Regulations, Paragraph 2007. "CAMOUFLAGE UTILITY UNIFORM"

-quote-

1. The camouflage utility uniform is not authorized for wear except when in the field, for field-type exercises, or for those work conditions where it is not practical to wear the service uniform.

2. The utility uniform is a working uniform. Wear of the utility uniform is authorized while commuting to and from work to include all travel aboard DOD-owned/controlled aircraft. The utility uniform may also be worn for brief and appropriate stops off-base during duty hours or while commuting. In addition to emergency/maintenance stops, Marines are allowed to make brief, essential stops off-base during duty hours and while commuting to and from their place of duty, such as:

a. when dropping off/picking up children from daycare centers or school;

b. obtaining gas or other essential driving aids (wiper blades, snow chains, fluids, lights, etc.);

c. picking up/dropping off drycleaning;

d. off-base financial institutions; to include automatic teller machines; (ALMAR 107/96)

e. picking up vehicles at repair shops or gas stations;

f. at drive-thru windows where exiting the vehicle is not required; and,

g. at a convenience store or drug store solely for the purchase of emergency childcare or health products (milk, diapers, medicine, etc.).

3. Marines are prohibited from wearing the utility uniform as a liberty uniform off-base or during inappropriate circumstances such as:

a. at restaurants, pizza parlors, bars, lounges, etc.;

b. when dealing with public officials (police, courthouse, attorneys);

c. while attending classes or activities, or conducting business at education facilities;

d. at commercial airports/bus stations for travel or entering pick/drop off passengers;

e. at retail/rental stores, shopping malls, and shops for shopping or paying bills;

f. at grocery stores/supermarkets'

g. at movie theaters, mini-golf, or other similar entertainment/

recreational or sporting activities.

4. Marines set the example. In any uniform we will maintain the highest standards of appearance -- at all times -- in all places. Exercise good judgment, if there's a doubt -- don't stop. (ALMAR 6/96)

Can you please cite the exact regulation?

I see the dumb shits wearing cameos in town all the time I live in san diego as an ex marine it pisses me off sucks im at work when I see em or id hit em up. I saw a marine at dave n busters and ripped his *** tho its the new breads no respect

it depends on the uniform of the day. my friends are in the marine corps reserve and they usually wear the woodland marpat in the winter/fall and desert in spring/summer.

I don't know, all I know is anyone who does that kinda stuff are just seeking attention, they aren't quite professionals, there the types that joined the Corps for the uniform not the title, the brotherhood, or the adventure, just to pick up chicks and talk about how big and bad they are. Met to many douchebag Marine phonies who pulled that ****.

I am sure you had many S=4 Briefing about wearing a uniform making you into a target for gangs and terrorists.

No regulations!

i dont understand why u would want to do that?

did u join for show or for self-pride?
