Skirts no longer allowed in promotion photos

Female Marines may no longer wear skirts in their promotion photos under a policy change that went into effect immediately upon authorization by the Corps’ top personnel official, Lt. Gen. Ronald Coleman, according to a Sept. 17 Corps-wide message.

Under the previous policy, female Marines could choose between wearing the skirt or the slacks authorized for the service Charlie uniform in which all promotion photos are taken.

Eliminating the option of wearing a skirt also eliminates the option of wearing high-heeled shoes, since those shoes are authorized for wear only with the skirt, according to Marine Corps uniform regulations.
