Marine Corps updates women’s Dress Blues

[Ooh-Rah]

Very nice. Much more consistant with the men.

Parris Island recruits are first to get new female dress blue coat

BEFORE AND AFTER:

 

[LibraryLady]

Me likey. No reason for them to be different.

[Grunt]

I like them.

 

[racing_kitty]

Looks great

 

[Diamondback 2/2]

Yeah I have to admit, I never understood the skirts, different blouse, jacket, head gear, smaller rank insignia, etc.

Looks sharp!

 

[LibraryLady]

Can't see the shoes, but I'm hoping they're done with that tortuous piece of nastiness footwear called the military approved black patent leather pump.

I prefer the before, but maybe it's just because it's different and I'm not use to it.

I don’t know. The white underblouse screams ‘woman’ while the new blouse is instantly identifiable as “Marine Corps Dress Blues”. If that was the Corps’ goal, I think they were successful.

 

[policemedic]

Hot.

 

[Dame]

Hot.

Hard agree.
They look like female warriors now. IMHO they looked like the secretarial pool before.

Couldn't have said it better!

[BloodStripe]

I guess we can just agree to disagree. I also preferred their old barracks covers too.

 

[DA SWO]

Long overdue.
The rest of the services need to change too.

 

[Deleted member 2517]

Same jobs, same standards, should be the same uniform.

 

[Cookie_]

It's a better change. The old female top looks like they just threaded the ASU with red instead of gold.

 

[Marauder06]

They need to look exactly the same, with the same accoutrements, headgear, and footwear. The Army needs to do the same.

 

[Gunz]

Yeah, better. They're Marines, not girl scouts. They don't bake cookies. They kill people.

 

[Box]

I think it makes them look less like female Marines and more like - well, Marines

 

[Devildoc]

Definitely looks better. The pic on top reminds me of when I was a E4 at a party and met a gal, we engaged in drunken debauchery. Found out the next day she was a staff sgt. Almost forgot about it until I saw that pic.

But yeah, the new uni's are much better.
