<p>I was just wondering something on the uniforms, im going enlisted into the Marine Corps and plaining on going active duty for two-four years and then applying for the Naval Academy. From my active duty and to attednt the Academy do i have to wear the naval uniform or can i wear my Marine Corps uniform while in the Academy?</p>
<p>You will become a midshipman…meaning you wear that uniform. The way you will show your previous service comes when you wear your whites or other uniforms with combat ribbons…It becomes clear to all that you had prior service by those ribbons…not to mention some degree of maturity that you should show in handling the ‘stress’ especially of Plebe summer training and Plebe year’s regimen. You make your own reputation other than that. Some ‘priors’ as you will be called - are awesome and some are not…But you are not going to wear a Marine uniform again, unless you decide to go back into USMC with a Commission and that would be with an Officer’s Uniform anyway.</p>
