Corps Issues Guidelines for Wearing New PT Uniforms

Marines cannot wear the new physical training (PT) uniforms for anything other than their intended use – to exercise in – with a few exceptions. A May 19 administrative message stated that Marines can wear the PT sweatshirts during leave and liberty as an outer garment or layer of clothing, or under a jacket. They can also wear the new running suit jackets as outer garments, as long as they wear a shirt underneath it and have the zipper fixed at least half way to the top. Also, they can wear the suits in any combination with the green PT shorts and undershirts, but not with USMC sweat suits. The do’s and don’ts are spelled out in ALMAR 019/08.
