After being out for 29 years, why woud you desire a current uniform? That being said, Marlowe White sells uniforms to anyone. SPC Dana Clark

CSM Charles Hayden Good point,CSM, i wouldn't mind having my dress blues from my first enlistment in the Marines,but my first wife burned them along with everything else i owned at that time and i didn't replace them because they would have held no value to me,not being the original.

So because Im retired I am a civilian by your concept? I can tell you that the Supreme Court, VA, VFW, AL, etc. All disagree with your thought process. The term Veteran exists to show the difference between civilian and someone who is AD. Other wise it would just be AD and CIVILIAN. I can still be tried by a military court, recalled to service, etc. Civilians are civilians; denoting no connection to the military.

SPC Dana Clark unless you met the requirements of federal law 10 USC 772 and echoed in AR670-1, I'm sure you could buy one, but would not be authorized to wear it. Execptions: retired, medically retired.
