Some Female Marines Won’t Have to Shell Out for New Unisex Dress Blues Coat
Military.com | By Gina Harkins
Female Marines who are approaching the end of their service contracts won't need to shell out hundreds of dollars for a replacement dress coat as the Corps moves to a unisex look.
Marines leaving the service on or before Jan. 1, 2023, won't have to buy the new female dress coat, the service announced Monday. That's despite a mandatory possession date for the unisex-style coat kicking in three months earlier.
"Marines with current contracts (or who will begin terminal leave in conjunction with their retirement) that end on or before 1 January 2023 are waived the requirement to own the new female blue dress coat before 1 October 2022, and may continue to wear their current female blue dress coat until 1 January 2023," a service-wide message states.
