During the 60's we had the Marines and the Hollywood Marines. That still exists according to the new recruits I talk with. Looking at the story about Marine week in St. Louis, I was offended by the marines wearing the white trousers in the picture. Being stationed at 8th & I the enlisted marines were the only marines in the Corps allowed to wear the white trousers and then only during official ceremonies. I wonder want the Corps will allow next since I see marines wearing ear rings on liberty. I guess it's part of the new 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' direction of the Defense Department.
