This is how you do it. On August 8th, the US Marine Corps Uniform Board released a survey seeking input about three proposed uniform changes for active duty and reserve Marines. The three changes are:
– Altering the color of enlisted rank insignia from black to brushed brass for Woodland MARPAT utilities.
– Establishing the Sam Browne belt as a mandatory accessory for officers wearing the blue dress A/B.
– Shifting the annual seasonal uniform synchronization date from Daylight Savings Time to the First Monday in April for Summer uniforms and the first Monday in October for Winter uniforms.
The survey, which is the second step in the Uniform Board process, is planned to run through August 29th. Active duty and reserve Marines may take the survey at www.manpower.usmc.mil/application by selecting the Marine Corps Uniform Board #214 survey.
