Flight Pundit

I have been noticing a lack of attention to detail in the civilan world, even from Army Vets that I work with (I have been driving them nutz).
So when I get this email from Military.com I had to smile at the level of detail the Marines take in everything they do.

Marines will have to recheck uniform regulations due to more than 10 miscellaneous changes in Marine Administrative Message 322/05, which was released July 17. Some of the changes are small, but if Marines do not pay attention to them they may find themselves out of uniform. One of the more pertinent changes, which will ultimately save lives, is to motorcycle safety equipment. Motorcycle safety jackets can now be worn over a Marine’s uniform while riding. Another change gives female Marines the choice of wearing diamond-studded earrings with their evening dress uniforms. Before this change they were only allowed to wear pearl earrings. Also, Marines will no longer be required to wear their covers while in privately owned vehicles. One other change concerns civilian attire. While on a military installation, all headgear, including civilian headgear, will be removed while indoors. This may not seem like anything new, but it was brought up to the Marine Corps Uniform Board that this requirement was never officially added to the uniform regulations. For more information on these or other changes, check Marine Corps order P1020.34G or refer to MARADMIN 322/05.
