While the rest of the branches are down, USMC recruitment numbers are up. At Parris Island, a lot of injured are being sent home instead of being allowed time to heal and get back to training. There's just not enough space available. Likely the same issue causing the uniform shortage.

Marines are a small service so suppliers probably focus on bigger clients, such as, the Army.
