Would like to be a house-mouse in a corner when someone tries to challenge a few of these based on this article!

6 Marine Corps 'Rules' That Are Not Actually Regulations

- You are not required to get a haircut every week.

- No, you don’t have to wear skivvy shirts in cammies.

- There’s no Corps-wide rule mandating you wear a reflective belt during PT.

- There’s no Marine Corps order saying you can’t park in reserved spaces.

- You’re not required to wear issued PT shorts, but they do have to be green.

- There’s no actual rule against walking on the grass.

Subtitle to the article-
Playing with fire won't get you burned, try it!
 
I remember someone tried to bring up the hair-cut per pay-cycle regulation to my sister platoon's Gunny, while on vacation at Camp Wilson. I believe his words were: "If I wanted your opinion I would write mine down on a 3 by 5 index card and make you read it outloud". Weekly haircuts continued.

Also, no one wants to get a royal-ass chewing for parking in their batallion's reserved parking spaces...luckily for us, 1/9's company office was in the same parking lot so we just parked in those instead }:-)
