Umbrellas, silver earrings and new ponytail options ― the Corps is pondering these uniform changes
By: Shawn Snow  
A Marine Corps uniform board set to meet later this spring is considering at least eight changes this year ― and wants Marines to weigh in on the latest proposals.
Some of the changes include umbrellas for male Marines, ponytails for medium length hair, silver earrings in dress uniform, a standard dress blue waistplate for sergeants and below, and various adjustments to clothing allowances for recruiters, drill instructors and Marines on funeral detail.
Input provided by Marines from the Corps’ posted survey will have the eyes of the commandant as he gauges whether to approve recommended changes from the uniform board.
So, what’s the background on these potential uniform changes?
