I don't think you'll seea any Marines in other than actual field situation wearing utilities (what other branches call fatigues or BDUs). We were always forbidden to be out in public in utilities; it had to be a dress uniform, or at least "un-dress" in dress trousers and short sleeves.
But that was over 30 years ago. I read recently that the USMC had reiiterated that policy.
However, to quote Marlowe: "but that was in another country, and besides the wench is dead."

Freedom is not free, but the US Marine Corps will pay most of your share.
