Kinda dumb and random question about the marines

Question

ok so me and a buddy are planning on joining the marines and having our contracts in so we can go as soon as we graduate. what i wanted to know is seeing how our senior prom is right before the end of school how likly is it that we could get permission to buy our dress blues early and wear them there?? i know it sounds dumb and really random but we would both really like to know

Answer 1

You can not do that, you will not even get them until you go to boot camp.  Sorry buddy.

Answer 2

They're not going to let you wear them until you've gone through basic.

Answer 3

There is absolutely no way that they would allow you to get your dress uniforms before you join. You have to earn them. I know in the Army you don't get them until you've reached and gone thru  basic training. I would assume it's the same in the Marine Corp.

Answer 4

Since your asking this stupid of a question then it is fitting you should join that branch of the service. Have fun!! HOO RAH!!!

I'm also assuming you two guys are going together...which isn't allowed in the Marines.

Answer 5

Considering the fact that dress blues are standard issue for Marines (Which you are not) it would be dishonorable and insulting to your future brethren, as they have gone through 13 weeks of sheer h**l, whilst you have yet to step onto the yellow feet.  Just pick out a nice tux like everyone else.

Answer 6

You don't rate 'em - You don't get 'em...

You won't be able to get dress blues until you graduate from boot camp until then you're a Recruit... not a Marine

Answer 7

Please delete your question..and take a step into reality dude..

Answer 8

your not a marine yet

Answer 9

Dress Blues must be EARNED. You aren't a Marine, therefore, you do not rate the Dress Blues.  

Answer 10

i just saw the word marines. do u want to get rich? apply as a private contractor in iraq. they pay 600 bucks a day at best. i just saw this on tv awhile ago. 9 weeks work in iraq then 3 weeks home. this is just what i saw on tv. sounds cool. i hope i can apply if only i had the training.

but anyway, in relation to your question, i don't know the answer. i just wanted to share. you could be interested. company name is HART. if you get any info on this, could you let me know? good luck!

Answer 11

not going to happen the uniforms are for marines only.

Answer 12

hahahahaaha!

Answer 13

Absolutely not. You have not earned the title of United States Marine. If the only reason you want to join is to look good in dress blues then don't bother joining, you wont make it for a week in Recruit Training.

Answer 14

Are you in ROTC (Reserve officer training corps)? If you are you could just wear the dress blues that they give you...

Answer 15

the marines wont let you were the uniform until after you completed basic training
