I never envied the Marines their sweaters. But I went to AROBC in the summer.

I was issued a 5-button sweater when I got to Germany, and that was a pretty good item. Beat scarves and gloves and field jackets most of the time.

Both of those sweaters, and the 'sleeping shirt' were some of the best items they ever came up with.

Funny that I found this thread while making another order from BrigadeQ'master. Highly recommend them based on quick service.
