8000. GENERAL
1. Any individual wearing the Marine Corps uniform is expected to reflect the high personal appearance standards and esprit de corps that all Marines in uniform represent. To this end, particular attention will be paid not only to the correct and military wear of uniform components, but also to the individual's personal and physical appearance.
2. All personnel exercising the privilege of wearing the Marine Corps service or dress uniform will comply fully with Marine Corps grooming and weight control standards.
8001. NAVY PERSONNEL SERVING WITH MARINE CORPS UNITS. (See figs. 8-1 through 8-3.)
1. Service Uniforms. The wear of Navy or Marine Corps service uniforms by Navy personnel serving with Marine Corps units will be as follows:
a. Officers. Navy officers may purchase and wear Marine Corps service uniforms at their option. When the Marine Corps service uniform is worn, Navy officers will abide by Marine Corps grooming and physical appearance standards and the uniform will be worn in the manner prescribed for Marine officers, except as otherwise specified in this chapter. Those officers who do not elect to wear Marine Corps service uniforms will wear the equivalent Navy service uniform and abide by Navy grooming and physical appearance standards.
b. Enlisted
(1) Marine Corps service uniforms are provided only to those Navy hospital corpsmen, dental technicians, or religious program specialists who elect to wear them. These Navy enlisted will wear Marine Corps service uniforms for the duration of their continuous service with Marine Corps units when directed by the commander. They will abide by Marine Corps grooming and physical appearance standards and, except as otherwise prescribed in this chapter, wear the service uniforms with the same required/optional components and in the same manner as prescribed for Marines.
(2) Navy hospital corpsmen, dental technicians, or religious program specialists who do not elect to wear Marine Corps service uniforms, or those Navy enlisted personnel in other specialties not entitled to the service uniform option, will wear the equivalent Navy service uniform when required and abide by Navy grooming and physical appearance standards.
(3) All Navy enlisted personnel serving with Marine Corps units and who wear Navy service uniforms will be issued sufficient quantities of unit identification marks (UIM's) for wear on their service uniforms. Unit supply officers will procure UIM's with local operation and maintenance funds. The marks will reflect the short title at the major command level and will be worn per the guidance contained in U.S. Navy Uniform Regulations.
2. Utility Uniforms. The Marine Corps issues the utility uniform to all enlisted Navy personnel assigned to Marine units. (MARADMIN 322/05) The utility uniform, when it is issued by and at the expense of the Marine Corps, shall be worn in accordance with the provisions of this manual. There are two utility uniforms, as described by paragraph 2005. The camouflage utility uniform is a standard uniform authorized by the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Marine Corps, but the Navy issues it only to Sailors in certain specialties. The combat utility uniform is unique to the Marine Corps and may only be worn by Sailors when they are serving with Marine Corps units.
>CH 5 a. Officers. Navy officers do not receive a uniform allowance and therefore will not be mandated to wear the utility uniform, but they may purchase and wear the utility uniform at their option. When the Marine Corps service uniform is worn, Navy officers will abide by Marine Corps grooming standards and the uniform will be worn in the manner prescribed for Marine officers, except as otherwise specified in this chapter. Those officers who do not elect to wear Marine Corps service uniforms will wear the equivalent Navy service uniform and abide by Navy grooming and physical appearance standards.
b. Enlisted
(1) Those Navy enlisted personnel who elect to wear Marine Corps service uniforms are also issued utility uniforms. When worn by these personnel, the utility uniform is considered to be a Marine Corps uniform and will be worn with the same required/optional components and in the same manner as prescribed for Marines, except as otherwise prescribed in this chapter. Marine Corps grooming and physical appearance standards will apply.
(2) Those Navy enlisted personnel who do not elect to wear the Marine Corps service uniform, but are issued the utility uniform at the Marine Corps expense, shall wear the utility uniform in accordance with this manual, with the following exceptions:
(a) Navy appearance standards may apply at the option of the individual.
>CH 5 (b) Either Navy or Marine Corps uniform accessories (e.g., belt buckle, undershirt and outerwear) may be worn with the camouflage utility uniform at the individual’s option, however, those Marine Corps items not issued must be purchased at the individual’s expense. When the combat utility uniform is worn Marine Corps components will be worn, except as described below. CMC Decision Memo of 29 Nov 05
c. General. The following regulations apply to the wear of utility uniforms worn by Navy personnel serving with Marine units:

No alterations of the utility uniform worn by Navy personnel is permitted unless otherwise authorized by this manual.
(3) If the wear of a camouflage helmet is required and issued by the Marine Corps, Navy personnel will wear a helmet cover with a Marine Corps emblem decal.
