Female Marines may no longer wear skirts in their promotion photos under a policy change that went into effect immediately upon authorization by the Corps’ top personnel official, Lt. Gen. Ronald Coleman, according to a Sept. 17 Corps-wide message.

Under the previous policy, female Marines could choose between wearing the skirt or the slacks authorized for the service Charlie uniform in which all promotion photos are taken.

Eliminating the option of wearing a skirt also eliminates the option of wearing high-heeled shoes, since those shoes are authorized for wear only with the skirt, according to Marine Corps uniform regulations.



uhc comment: The war machine focuses on desensitizing the difference between men and women in the Crotch.

have their photos taken in skirts and high heels?

everyone looks alike.

So, they should dress alike.

Different uniforms for women is akin to having a different uniform for blacks, Catholics, etc. It creates subsets in an organization in which everyone is similarly trained and officers and enlisted wear nearly identical ensembles.
