Image info: Retired Sgt. James Snyder, an year-old veteran of the Korean War and Vietnam, who served for 28 years, and a native of Dayton, Ohio, shakes hands with Marines dressed in uniforms from periods throughout Marine Corps history during the Marine Corps Base Hawaii birthday pageant at Dewey Square, Nov. Each costume is a replica of a uniform worn during different historical eras, from the Revolutionary War high collar, or "Leatherneck," to the current camouflage utilities.
Each uniform highlights the evolution of the Marine Corps from past to present, while also showing Marines still carry the same values and traditions today as when the Corps was established in Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Matthew Bragg. Marines are often confused with soldiers, who are in the United States Army. Some differences in appearance are:.
Marine Corps green running suit pants and jacket with a silver emblem on the upper left trouser leg, scarlet and gold "USMC" on lower right pant leg, silver emblem over the breast and scarlet and gold "MARINES" across the back. The bottoms running suit pants, green undershirt, sweat pants and shorts are restricted to PT situations only. Some differences in appearance are: Marines do not wear berets.
Marines wear boots only with the utility uniform, not other uniforms. Marines do not salute unless they are wearing a hat known as a "cover". Marines do not wear covers indoors, unless they are "under arms", i. The Marine service uniform, roughly equivalent to business attire, has a khaki shirt. The equivalent Army uniform has a light-green shirt. I would wear blue deltas all other times. Yea, I love Deltas. If I had a set I'd wear them all the time Images Had a lad that had a little tiff with his wife and ended up spending a week sleeping in the barracks.
He said he wanted to try and make up to her and get things back on track. I said wear something nice and take her out to dinner then tell her how you feel. He said I don't have anything nice to put on. I said the hell you don't sheesh look in your wall locker. He proudly took her out wearing charlies and all was well in the world once again.

Guests who are not in the military should wear clothing that matches the dress code and formality of the event. Anyone hosting a military wedding has the option to host the ceremony at a military chapel or on academy grounds.
All service academies have more than one chapel for members of different religions. However, the couple may choose to host their ceremony at their regular place of worship or another venue. For those couples who choose to marry at a military chapel, a military chaplain will officiate the ceremony.
Chaplains are commissioned officers who are paid by their branch of service, so the couple does not have to pay them, though a donation to the chapel is encouraged. Couples may choose to have a civilian clergy member assist the chaplain in the ceremony.
This depends on the couple's personal, cultural, and religious preferences and the type of ceremonial rituals they choose to partake in. Some couples choose to participate in every military wedding tradition, which can make for a longer ceremony, while others incorporate only a few.
This would depend on the couple's preference, but many couples will register for gifts. If not, consider a gift with a military theme. When in doubt, look to the invitation for directions regarding gifts.
Below, learn all about the traditions, plus what to plan for and expect at a military wedding ceremony. At the reception, military members should be seated by rank captains with captains, sergeants with sergeants, etc. Military personnel may also be seated together at a table of honor near the head table, or they can sit with the civilian guests if the couple prefers.
Each branch of service has specific seating guidelines, but overall, high-ranking officers generals, captains are given positions of the highest honor both at the ceremony and reception.
An American flag and the bride or groom's unit standard are usually on display during the ceremony as a sign of respect. Protocol dictates that this should be displayed to the left of the officiant when viewed by the gathered guests.
In addition to the flag, the couple may choose to incorporate other patriotic decorations and colors into their ceremony and reception.
If the ceremony is being held at a military chapel, the couple will have to get permission to decorate from the chaplain first. If either or both partners are in the military, they have the option of wearing a full ceremonial dress instead of civilian clothing.
For the groom, this might be dress whites in the summer or dress blues in the winter. For the bride, this could be a ceremonial uniform or a traditional wedding dress. If either is an officer, their evening dress uniform is incredibly formal and should be reserved for a white-tie affair while dinner or mess dress uniforms are appropriate for black-tie events.
Dress blues are the best choice for a wedding with a cocktail or formal dress code. If the groom chooses to be wed in full military uniform, they'll need to adhere to the unique regulatory standards that each branch holds, including universal grooming standards, such as shaving. Chaib explains that all men in uniform must be clean-shaven, and these same rules apply to any vets or retirees planning to don a uniform. However, the opportunity to again wear a uniform that holds so much national and personal significance may be a major motivation.
Out of respect, boutonnieres are not allowed to be pinned onto uniforms, no matter the formality. This applies to both the groom and groomsmen. Any military decorations they might have will serve as the "boutonniere" in this case. The bride, however, may carry a bouquet, even if opting to wear a uniform instead of a traditional wedding dress.
Any member of the wedding party in uniform who is carrying a saber or cutlass, whether an officer or enlisted personnel, must wear white gloves. This is typically required of military members for most ceremonial events.
