Bingo!
The USMC Utility Uniform is a WORK uniform. This Uniform SOP prohibits the wearing of the “Uts” off-base to establish a standard. Have you ever seen an Infantry Marine, Artillery Marine or Motor “T” Marine come out of the field on a Friday after a week of training? When I served, before you went on liberty you “cleaned your weapon, you cleaned your equipment, you cleaned your body!”

And what does this have to do with a Marine who wanted to get some gas and maybe pick up a pack of smokes before driving on base in the morning?
