MARPAT on Non-Marines
I read a long thread somewhere that had mucho participation from Marines and SEALs that basically defined the new MARPAT uniform as Marine only gear, same as dress blues or the SEAL insignia will only be worn by team folks, no wannabes will be tolorated.
There was definite discussion of serious butt whooping to pretenders, there's a war on folks, Ya wanna be a Marine, Sign UP!
It's what I read and agree with, men that survive Airborne, LRRP, Ranger, SF or whatever get to wear the cool hats, jump wings whatever, the MARPATs are for the jarheads only but might be on loan to those SEAL/Frog fellers even if they did have to be rescued from a silly Alaska bush exercise by......The Freaking Air National Guard.....snicker, sniff sniff.
