The Undress Uniform
The Long Sleeve and Short Sleeve Undress Uniforms will be discussed here.

There's more to the Undress Uniform than just taking off your red blazer. The Dress Blue trousers with the red
NCO stripe are
worn with the Undress Uniform, along with the Marine Corps web belt and brass buckle. It should be pointed out that the Dress
Blue trousers have the red
NCO stripe, not the wider Officers stripe.

The Black Trousers may be worn as an option with both Undress Uniforms, having the same belt and buckle options as with the
Casual Uniform. The same shoes and socks are worn with the Undress Uniform, as with the Casual Uniform.
Long Sleeve Shirt
The Long Sleeve Undress Uniform shirt will be an aviator style shirt, with two (2) button down breast pockets and shoulder
epaulets. It will have a military crease
running top to bottom, centered on each pocket and three creases on the back. The Marine
Corps League Shoulder Patch is worn on the left shoulder, centered on the crease,
 1-1/2" down from the shoulder seam. The
Field Forward American Flag patch will be worn on the right shoulder, centered on the crease, 1-1/2" down from the shoulder
seam. The Sunburst Insignias are worn on each collar,
centered, 1/2" from both edges, with the eagles wings parallel to the deck. The
name tag may be worn above the right breast pocket,
centered and 1/8" above the top of the flap. Either Marine Corps League
ribbons or Department of Defense ribbons and badges may be worn above the left breast pocket,
centered, 1/8" above the top of
the flap.
Marine Corps League and Department of Defense ribbons can't be mixed.  Ribbons are to be worn in rows not
exceeding four ribbons per row, for multiple awards. If the top row has fewer ribbons than the lower rows, they are to be
centered on the lower rows. The tie and tie bar are worn the same as the Casual Uniform
Short Sleeve Shirt
The Short Sleeve Undress Uniform is in all ways identical to the Long Sleeve Uniform, except the sleeve length. It has the same
pockets, shoulder epaulets, creases and patches. The top most button is left open and a tie is never worn with the short
sleeve Undress Uniform shirt. The dress blue trousers with red NCO stripe are to be worn with this uniform, as well and the
black trousers are also an option. The same belts and belt options are worn with the short sleeve Undress Uniform as with the
long sleeve Undress Uniform. Sunburst insignia and ribbons are worn the same as the long sleeve shirt. The optional name tag
is worn the same way as with the long sleeve shirt, too.
