"USMC"/emblem decal according to previously published instructions may be
worn until they become unserviceable.
4. Name/service tapes will be worn on the utility uniform as prescribed in
paragraph 3032.
5. The camouflage utility coat will be worn outside the trousers. Sleeves
may be rolled up at the option of local commanders. When authorized, utility
sleeves will be rolled with the inside out, forming a roll about 3 inches
wide, and terminating at a point about 2 inches above the elbow. When combat
boots are worn, the trousers will be bloused in a neat uniform manner. When
utility uniforms are prescribed for parades, reviews, and ceremonies, the
helmet with camouflage cover may be prescribed.
6. On the camouflage utility coat and trousers the replacement of pocket
flap buttons with hook-and-pile ("Velcro") fasteners at the option and
expense of the individual is authorized. These uniforms will meet minimum
requirements; however, commanders will not mandate the use of hook-and-pile
fasteners.
7. The camouflage utility cap will be machine or hand laundered in warm
water. It may be starched or sized but may not be bleached. The woodland
style camouflage utility cap may be worn with any authorized style camouflage
uniform.
8. When the helmet is worn with utilities, the pocket size iron-on emblem of
the Marine Corps decal will be centered on the front of the helmet cover.
With the helmet cover removed from the helmet, the bottom of the emblem will
be placed approximately 2 inches up from the front seam, taking care to avoid
placing the emblem over any of the open slits in the helmet cover material.
The emblem will not be worn by recruits undergoing training. Local
commanders may direct placement of the emblem on desert helmet covers only if
it is expected that desert utilities will be worn at least 60 days.
Improperly ironed-on decals will not render the helmet cover unserviceable.
