The regs were different when I was in the Corps (and when Dudly claims to have served). No, they were NOT different, except for the one-and-only part you DID get right...INITIALLY Marines only received a monthly allowace for MAINTENANCE of uniforms. snip Cash payment IS required for replacement of issued uniform items, and Marines are paid a monetary yearly "maintenance allowance" on the anniversary oftheir enlistment. We were given a monthly clothing allowance and it wasn't much -- just a few dollars each month. Uh huh. In the early 80's. If you want to make a case then post the regs that were in effect at the time in question. The "regs" that Hans, K0HB quoted are almost the same as those in force "back then". A quick phone call or letter to HQMC can verify the changes. In the mean time, get a hankie and wipe the blood off your nose. You look silly, Mr Silliland... Steve, K4YZ |
