Hey DOC,,, There's a good article at www.thesquadbay.com that should help you!! Commandant of the Marines Gen James Jones authorized all Corpsmen and Chaplins to were the Marine Corps Dress Greens if assigned to Marine Units,,, I would think you would wear the Navy E-6 Crow,, Keep up the good service and educate everybody up there so there aren't any smart asses around when you go in the box,, acutally you can wear that uniform NOW,, "my opinion" and help "pass the word" I love the VA and the Corpsmen AND the Marines of course,, Retired MSGT USMC,, Live a bunch more and collect that retired pay,, YOU earned it!!! Hope this helps!!! Sempi Fi,,,Jack
