It’s great to see you wearing a regulation “High and Tight” Marine Corps haircut, and to see a bright, young career NCO like yourself making something of yourself, serving Corps and country. The Corps needs more dedicated career Leathernecks like yourself! As a “Mustang”, I well know the critical role NCOs play in the Corps.
Hugo Boss missed his calling when the USMC were putting in their orders for new uniforms!! He created what was called the most handsome uniforms in the world for the German military before and during WW 2..even the Allies were impressed by them...to this day, many of Hugo Boss's influences are still seem in uniforms...look up his bio..very amazing !!
@@haukepowers8491 tbh I sgree. Nazi germany was bad but the Uniforms were so fculing good. Especaiy high ranking officers with a couple of ribbons and chords dress uniform, a beauty. My fav dress uniform of all time tied with the Marines Dress Blues. With the medal ofc, the ones with ribbons not as good
We were not issued the long dress green cold weather wool coat in boot camp, because they were out of stock. When I returned from ‘Nam (Vietnam), I was first assigned to Base Troops at Camp Del Mar (21 Area), where there were no wall locker, personnel, rifle, or Junk on the Bunk inspections, thus that coat was not necessary, however later I was transferred to FMF (Fleet Marine Force) Troops at 22 Area, which was strack as hell, with weekly personnel, and rifle inspections, and wall locker, and Junk on the Bunk inspections every couple of months. During my first wall locker inspection, it was discovered that I did not have that coat, and I was immediately ordered to buy on, which would have cost me around $40 at that time, which was a heck of a lot of money at that time considering the fact that as a L/Cpl with under two years in the Corps,I was only earning $130 a month. Yeah. It may sound corny, but in those days, we did not serve for money, but for love of, and duty toward our country. None of us ever expected to own a car while in the Corps,unless our parents bought it for us, and marriage was out of the question, below the rank of Staff Sergeant. We all lived in open squad bay barracks, just as I imagine Marines did in 1775, not private two man rooms as today, thus TVs were impossible to own, and cell phones, and computers were not yet invented. Our only furniture consisted of a wall locker half, a WW2 wood footlocker, and our blankets were WW2 green wool, stamped in huge letters, “USMC”. The Corps paid us enough to purchase shoe polish, and brasso metal polish. Everything else was free, and that was all we expected.
Thank you for doin this video because the only other one I've found that explains it he's driving and doesn't actually have them with him so thank you.
Yup, I wore the the rain/trench/all weather coat once. That one day in early 1988 when it rained in CA (Camp Pendleton). I guess it was acid rain because the water streaks are still on the thing!
I was active duty USMC from January 1983 thru October 1990. I was issued the all weather coat and they were worn by virtually all Marines in bad weather. They weren’t that warm, but repelled water, until you got them cleaned. Then you had to get them treated.
That trench coat looks good. I woulda traded a left nut to have one when we got deployed to ROKMCB, PoHang Korea in '76. [Exercise Solid Shield?] We shipped out of Kadena AB, Oki, where it was warm and balmy, to Korea with some northeaster weather shifting in from Siberia. Colder than Upper Michigan, even if it was summer. I had a rubberized green nylon raincoat that had zero insulation over green sateen utilities. No Field jacket. Field jackets [M-65] were organizational gear, not individual issue. It was summer anyway. Ours were back at Iwakuni. Froze my butt, until we got liberty in town, and some papasan tailored me an MA-1 style flying jacket out of ROK Marine silk ''frogskin'' camo, with a 1'' kapok liner. $10 greenbacks. Wore it in camp, but couldn't wear the jacket in uniform once I got back to the rear. Still have it. Semper Fi.
5:31 ... The Green Woolie is your green wool sweater Marines wear over their long sleeve shirt. Enlisted rank devices are one-quarter inch and centered from both collar edges; warrant and commissioned officer ranks are one-quarter inch from and centered on the inside edge of the shirt collar.
5:46 ... Back in the day, the green woolie was authorized for wear over the camouflaged t-shirt and under the cammie blouse during winter months or cold weather. Not everyone wore their green woolie when it got cold, because everyone tolerates temperature changes differently. A lot has clearly changed in over thirty years, though. When I joined, we didn’t get name tape on our cammies until early-to-mid 1991, and we still had black boots to spit shine. That changed when, at least the Army and Marines, changed to tan boots, but I digress.
8:20 ... I never owned a barracks cover of any sort when I was in. Except for the honor graduate (usually the platoon guide) from Boot Camp, nobody got issued Dress Blues. All I got issued were cammies (four sets), wool and poly service slacks (two each), three long sleeve shirts, three quarter length shirts, tie, service alpha coat, one each of the poly and wool piss cutters. Skivvies and footwear got without saying.
9:36 ... Marines who graduated Boot Camp in the late 1980s until 1990 or 1991 wore the olive green t-shirt and scarlet running shorts for PT. Of course, it also depended on what unit you were in; I saw some Marines wearing all green PT’s while I was still in Boot Camp in ‘88, but it wasn’t until 1991 that we went to all green PT gear, except for running shoes. The running jacket and pants are a different thing. Whether it was hot or cold, we wore summer PTs year round, and that was in Okinawa and Pendleton.
Only wore the all weather coat only when it rained. However I saw when I got out a marine at the hospital with one on and that’s a f’d up story within itself. 🤣🤣🤣
Been looking a lot at marine corps videos, everything about the training to the mental strength to the life adventure; it’s all amazing. I sadly have tattoos in two spots that would not be tolerated, my hand, and also my inner elbow region. I really wish I didn’t get these tats, I could be in the process of becoming a marine right now.
Back in my day (Vietnam era), I was not issued Dress Blues. Only people that served in units that did ceremonial or particular function (embassy duty, band, as an examples ) were issued blues. I don't know when it changed but when I left the service, I don't think they were issuing blues.
Here's an oldie for you. In the mid-'50's we were issued short "Ike" jackets along with our dress greens. I liked the look, but the powers that be didn't like us wearing them and they were discontinued...probably by the early '60's. That combination looked very WW2.
We use to ware the all weather coat in the winter but mainly during parades or on official military business or travel, but I should have know, 1 hash mark with 3 strips up! Really? However that seems to be the norm now. Back in the days you were blessed if you made corporal in your first enlistment. You had to have 4.0/4.0 pro & cons, expert rifle range, at least 5 MCI’s, a spit shined Marine 365 day on and off duty and have had a Float under your belt and been up for a meritorious board before you was even thought about being considered for a promotion to corporal. SGT don’t even think about it unless you have completed all of the above which was damn near impossible to do. So when you saw a sergeant walking around you knew 1st he had some time in! (2) the respect was there because you knew what it took to obtaining the rank because he/she had completed the check list and was working on Staff NCO. And you knew the only way to obtain that was completion the Staff NCO MCI, SGT Corse, Staff Academy if you could get in and complete a B-Billet (ie) Drill Instructor, Recruiter, Embassy duty or MSG school. If you were all that you might have gotten a chance at 8th & I Duty ( Silent Drill Platoon ) But cudo’s young Marine, you are a sergeant of marines. That is the back bone of the Corps where the rubber meets the road. You are the direct bridge between junior Marines and senior Marines. Be firm but fair! Be hard but humble. I know you are not ground Element. But camp Fatema is still the corp, sometime in your career you will leave and join a victor unit so be ready and carry the torch. Your talking so now we are watching. Make us proud. Simper fi
I served 1982-1986. Our raincoat was not that light color. It was dark green. We had 2 acceptable cammo uniforms. One from the Vietnam era called a "popland" and the new (at that time) "woodland". We didn't have a barracks cover like yours. We had a cloth "piss cutter". Dress Blues were the same. We had a heavy winter coat called a "Russian overcoat" that was dark green and it did look like a Russian overcoat. I believe we had very strict cammo uniform rules. You could only wear them on base unless you were traveling to/from your home. You couldn't stop off for gas or a small quick mart in cammos. We did stop off at drive-in food places in the middle of the night, never getting out of the car. That was tolerated.
So Sgt. Paterson your on Okinawa and doing this video in you room? When I was on Okinawa in 1974-75 even sargeants did not have a nice room like you have. We were in barracks that I would not put a rat in. I'm glad to see things have gotten better on Okinawa for you guys. Far as I'm concern Okinawa is still the arm pit of the world. Semper Fi Brother and good luck to you. N.Catino U.S.M.C. 73-77.
What do you wear as summer uniform? In pre-Vietnam (1959-1962), we wore tropicals (mohair shirt and trousers). The shirt was worn under winter greens. Gloves were always carried. Rarely wore khakis; except in base admin.
Hey Marine, retired Army Staff Sergeant here, dust on the rim of your cover? That’s what they make the 2 gallon size zip lock bags for. Thanks for a great video and Thank you for your service and have a nice holiday if possible in the South Pacific
Similar to how the Navy uniforms were when I was in, except back then we had white and blue versions of all of our dress uniforms. Once I got stationed out of Hawaii, the blues went into the closet and never came out ever again. I would usually keep one of each out just in case for deployments in case we went somewhere cold where we had to dress up for some reason, but being a sub guy 95% of the time I was in coveralls. Also, we wore our version of the all weather jacket all the time, at least in climates where it rained. The peacoat was the one nobody ever wore unless they could find some excuse. Shame, too, because that thing was nice. I actually never bothered to get my rate sewed on mine so I could wear it out with my civilian clothes.
Just got a surprise uniform inspection for Monday was told today on Saturday. Was putting my dress blue cover together and realized how trash it looks. Especially going through MCT and how much your stuff gets thrown around there and also wherever it is at your MOS school.
My great grandfather has the jacket with the tag on it but that jacket he has is from the 40s or 50s (he was in the army) so yea and I worn it around the house cause it’s warm and it looks cool
Definitely junk the Cloth Garrison Cover. Vinyl is easier cleaned and also get anodized buttons for your blues you don’t want to be called out in a mess night for messed up brass
Very informative video.I like your personality.I seen marines wearing nomex fire proof coveralls plus i heard any plastic type of clothing was banned as too many marines were getting burned from IEDs.Heard anything about new cammies coming in because of that? What type of boots do most marines like in the field?
My son just graduated. Several people want him to visit in his uniform, but I know there is regulations about that stuff. The dress blues, I think is too much for going to the store or even church. They are very nice but I'm concerned about getting them dirty. What is your recommendation?
I’m not sure if I heard you refer to the tan garrison cover you displayed as a “Piss Cover”, or “Piss Cutter”. In my day, we called them “Piss Cutters”, however the foot note at the bottom of your video spelled it as, “Pi’s Cover”. Which is it now called?
Are they still issuing both the wool serge and the poly/wool service uniforms? I noticed you just showed the one. We had wool for winter and poly/wool for summer.
I was in the Corps enlisting in 1968. I even Put in a beneficial suggestion TWICE that OVERCOATS be issued By the INDIVIDUAL commands & not to individual Marines to Wag around for a lifetime & Having to continually change the rank insignia Upon promotions. What good is an overcoat good for in a hell hole like Viet Nam/ or some other tropical hell hole! The Corps could issue the overcoat like 782 gear is issued by the command. I am truly surprised that on This stupid train of thought That the Corps doesn't issue 782 Gear to each Marine so he/she can was around tent pegs/ a shelter half and a galvanized bucket to wag all of that crap & the :%\\-& overcoat In!! Think of the $$ wasted ...hell, I never put on the Overcoat in 6 long years! FUBAR/ SNAFU/BOHICA
I love marine uniforms but I really do think WW2 marine alphas and including the caps are better than the ones worn today, slightly different but much nicer IMO 👍
I wore the all weather coat once in 2014 😂 dumb ass boot Cpl made all e3 and below have a weekend formation and we decided to be belligerent as fuck and wear it. Never touched it after that
It's a rain coat, you can remove the liner for the summer or warmer weather or you can keep the liner in for colder climates...you're a sergeant and don't know your initial issue?
@@AONIXO No problem brother...I was a bit harsh in my reply I guess. When I was in we had two long coats. A wool one and a vinyl, one was for Winter/cold weather and the other for rainy warm weather. Then they were both phased out and a Trench Coat with removable liner was issued and everyone who had any sense used it and many of us did. Today's Marine Corps is a totally different animal...no offense.
Well I would have to say that something like for example victory and you’re on your way to the Marine Corps Ball I’d wear that over top of the dress blues or something like that just to keep them nice and not soaked or in cold weather months like oh it’s snowing outside you’re going to a special event or wedding something like that I would just wear that over my dress blues or something like that in my head that’s what I would do I haven’t gone to Boot Camp yet or meps but here soon I should be
Thank fuckin god Marine uniforms haven't changed much over 70 some odd years. When a Marine says he stood watch in his Charlie's, Every Marine in the room past and present knows what he said.
I think you guys have beautiful dress uniforms, but I damn sure was not going to be in jail everyday just to walk around in pretty uniforms. Army green was more than enough for 22 years.
Wore it during snowy months in Millington, Tn..... then never wore it again... Yuma, El Toro, Kbay... yea... i really needed a trench coat at those bases...
So the secret squirrel (aka trench coat) we wore them in 80’s because 60% enlisted Marines didn’t own a car. We walked everywhere on base when it rained. Also the green sweater was called the “wooly pulley”
Dude, I’m having a problem with you saying “issued”. Starting in boot camp we had to buy all of our uniforms. When we got our pay chit book they had already torn out the equivalent amount of the cost of everything we got. The only thing I was “issued” was combat gear and had to give that back. Never knew a single guy who had blues. ‘66-‘70.
This video brings back a lot of memories. I was in the Marines 1980-1986 stationed mostly at MCAS Yuma. I wore cammies probably 90% of the time. Charlie’s occasionally and Alphas only for an IG inspection. I enjoyed my time in the Corps. Thank you for your service and PLEASE, be safe.
I wore the all weather jacket😂 my ass looked like a detective
My drill instructors called it the "Inspector Gadget ass Jacket."
We were issued them toward the end of boot camp and one of the recruits made the mistake of calling it a “Dick Tracy.”
Columbo Coat!

I wore the all weather coat many times when I got assigned to Henderson Hall in DC ...that was in the 90's though.
That sweater is called a woolley pulley
I love it for winter.
We were not issued the long dress green cold weather wool coat in boot camp, because they were out of stock.

Wore my all weather coat plenty. Was issued a rubberized rain coat in OCS in 1982. At Basic School we had to buy the All Weather coat a year later.
Yup, I wore the the rain/trench/all weather coat once. That one day in early 1988 when it rained in CA (Camp Pendleton). I guess it was acid rain because the water streaks are still on the thing!
Hey Sergeant, Thanks for posting these. It's important to be knowledgable about these things.

My son just graduated. Several people want him to visit in his uniform, but I know there is regulations about that stuff. The dress blues, I think is too much for going to the store or even church. They are very nice but I'm concerned about getting them dirty. What is your recommendation?
Do officers wear different uniforms? Or is it typically cammies?

I had the Old Woodlands
I’m not sure if I heard you refer to the tan garrison cover you displayed as a “Piss Cover”, or “Piss Cutter”. In my day, we called them “Piss Cutters”, however the foot note at the bottom of your video spelled it as, “Pi’s Cover”. Which is it now called?
Are they still issuing both the wool serge and the poly/wool service uniforms? I noticed you just showed the one. We had wool for winter and poly/wool for summer.
What uniforms are marines sent home with after boot camp?
U wear the all weather when it rains during marines week...
I was in the Corps enlisting in 1968. I even
Put in a beneficial suggestion TWICE that
OVERCOATS be issued
By the INDIVIDUAL commands & not to individual Marines to
Wag around for a lifetime &
Having to continually change the rank insignia
Upon promotions. What good is an overcoat good for in a hell hole like Viet
Nam/ or some other tropical hell hole! The Corps could issue the overcoat like 782 gear is issued by the command.
I am truly surprised that on
This stupid train of thought
That the Corps doesn't issue 782 Gear to each Marine so he/she can was around tent pegs/ a shelter half and a galvanized bucket to wag all of that crap & the :%\\-& overcoat
In!! Think of the $$ wasted
...hell, I never put on the
Overcoat in 6 long years!
FUBAR/ SNAFU/BOHICA
Those uniforms look great Bro!
I’ve been in the army for 7 years now. Never have I worn the dress blue “public masturbator trench coat” as I called it.
Wore the trench coat many times.
How long did it take for you to pin Sgt?
Love it .. I'm in.
You didn't explain the service stripe for those that don't know. Good vid though, miss the Corp. Rah!
Do they still do job?
Can u wear dress blues to a wedding?
Never a waste of time!!
I’m confused do you buy those or do they give you money to buy those
Semper Fi!
Tan utilities? I thought air wing wears Green one pardon my ignorance
I love marine uniforms but I really do think WW2 marine alphas and including the caps are better than the ones worn today, slightly different but much nicer IMO 👍
I have to agree with you, especially the WW2 era barracks covers!
Mark them devil
I wore the all weather coat once in 2014 😂 dumb ass boot Cpl made all e3 and below have a weekend formation and we decided to be belligerent as fuck and wear it. Never touched it after that
It's a rain coat, you can remove the liner for the summer or warmer weather or you can keep the liner in for colder climates...you're a sergeant and don't know your initial issue?
No one wears it! It’s a waste of money in my opinion
@@AONIXO No problem brother...I was a bit harsh in my reply I guess. When I was in we had two long coats. A wool one and a vinyl, one was for Winter/cold weather and the other for rainy warm weather. Then they were both phased out and a Trench Coat with removable liner was issued and everyone who had any sense used it and many of us did. Today's Marine Corps is a totally different animal...no offense.
@@AONIXO I forgot...Thank You for your service.
Well I would have to say that something like for example victory and you’re on your way to the Marine Corps Ball I’d wear that over top of the dress blues or something like that just to keep them nice and not soaked or in cold weather months like oh it’s snowing outside you’re going to a special event or wedding something like that I would just wear that over my dress blues or something like that in my head that’s what I would do I haven’t gone to Boot Camp yet or meps but here soon I should be
Semper Fi.
Squared Away Sergeant!
What do u do in the marines
Y’all do t polish boots anymore.
Thank fuckin god Marine uniforms haven't changed much over 70 some odd years. When a Marine says he stood watch in his Charlie's, Every Marine in the room past and present knows what he said.
I liked my Alpha uniform also
Ago ! My guy do you know if I can join with eczema?
@Yellowhammerok, thanks brother! Have a good day
I think you guys have beautiful dress uniforms, but I damn sure was not going to be in jail everyday just to walk around in pretty uniforms. Army green was more than enough for 22 years.
Best uniforms in the world
yeah i wore that shit. trying to become a marine though.
do you think it’s a good idea to wait one year after high school to join the military?
Go straight into it man I wish I would’ve done that now I’m still waiting to get in, bs things more likely to come up while you stay back at home
And besides we’re in a never ending pandemic do you really wanna do online college?
I wish i went in after high school I was a dumbass and went to college and got fat now im paying for it
Wooley pooley
woolly pulley dawg…….
I wore the all weather coat exactly one time, and that was for graduation. Never so much as to even look at it again
I wore it more out of the Corps than in.
@@charlievoss718 They let you keep it?
@@charlievoss718 i know its really a very good coat that i think i wore once in the Marine for a reason i'll never remember.
Wore it during snowy months in Millington, Tn..... then never wore it again... Yuma, El Toro, Kbay... yea... i really needed a trench coat at those bases...
I never wore it even once.
So the secret squirrel (aka trench coat) we wore them in 80’s because 60% enlisted Marines didn’t own a car. We walked everywhere on base when it rained. Also the green sweater was called the “wooly pulley”
Dude, I’m having a problem with you saying “issued”. Starting in boot camp we had to buy all of our uniforms. When we got our pay chit book they had already torn out the equivalent amount of the cost of everything we got. The only thing I was “issued” was combat gear and had to give that back. Never knew a single guy who had blues. ‘66-‘70.
your absolutely right!!!
Back then, only Marines assigned to embassy duty were issued dress blues.
@@tommyt8998 That was the Old Corps. It's all new now.......
@@tommyt8998 / the honor man in each graduating platoon got Blues.js
@@TheDocrwm Can you explain how it works now it’s all kind of confusing to me
Bro you need to do a “How to physically prepare for Bootcamp” vid if you haven’t already
@Jacob Dawson I agree. Run and do legs. Legs are even more important if you're going to SD. Those hills will destroy your legs if you aren't prepared.
I liked it
Yea and how to be get out of bootcamp as a platoon honor man or guidon
Just run bro work on pull ups n crunches too poolee here 🙌
Run as much as you can before going in. Everyone's different, but I'd say the hardest thing physically for me personally was running.
This video brings back a lot of memories. I was in the Marines 1980-1986 stationed mostly at MCAS Yuma. I wore cammies probably 90% of the time. Charlie’s occasionally and Alphas only for an IG inspection. I enjoyed my time in the Corps. Thank you for your service and PLEASE, be safe.
