What were they dumping? Maybe they were releasing something!

Wow, i am glad this is up. happy new year united states.

I work at the Defense Supply Center Philadelphia and we buy food, clothing and medical supplies for the armed services. This crushes the current Marine Corps summer uniform like a grape. Mad style.

Tough Guy!

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow soooooooo cool, i love it it brings back alot of memories for alot of peolpe it makes me want to cry, anyways you look good

Very dashing! Anybody out there know who he is?

These images hardly look dated at all.

How do/did they know when to change from a winter uniform to a whatever uniform? is it by a certain date? or just certain temperatures?

These are just wonderful.

NiMA- If I recall correctly, the Base Commander (Station Commander, Ship's Captain or equivelent) would make this call. Local climate is usually a prime consideration when prescribing winter or summer uniforms. I can't recall for sure if CMC would set an ultimate date for the seasonal changeover.

The trouser crease on the left leg seems unusually conspicuous in this photo. It does not appear to be doubled, but looks to be much wider than what I am accustomed to seeing on a USMC uniform. It could be just the lighting. And regarding the neck tie, although the cleft near the top, just under the knot, may give a stylish appearance, in the strictest sense, it was not prescribed during the time of my service, 1986 - 1990.
