Grooming Standards

Grooming Standards in the Marine Corps For the Marine Corps grooming standards are more than how you look. They define how you as a person resemble the Marine Corps. Because as a US Marine you have to always be on top of your game always looking sharp, because you never know whose looking. It’s not just in uniform that you have to be neat and clean or just when you’re on base it’s all the time. Because even when you’re not on base or at work you’re a US Marine. For most people shaving, having a nice hair cut every week is just something that doesn’t seem that big of a deal. Not for a Marine because it’s not him or her that everyone is going to talk about it’s going to be about the Marine Corps. And as long as one of looks bad we all look bad together. That’s why it’s so important to always no matter what keep your hygiene together because everyone is out to judge the Marine Corps. Based on how we look in uniform and the way we look as a whole. Another thing that Marines pride themselves on is how we dress in garrison and on duty. Never do you see Marines walking around in old worn out clothes or clothes with holes in them. The reason for this is because why walk around looking like trash disgracing yourself and the rest of the Corp. When it’s so much easier to throw on nice decent clothes and have some respect not only for the Corp but for yourself as a person. And actually care about what your representing every time you where what you wear and call yourself a US Marine. Overtime the codes and standards of the Marine Corps have in some way kept it together. It’s kept the ones who belong here and gotten rid of the ones who don’t belong and can’t take it. For the most part all the grooming standards do is help you better yourself and look professional. Because for the most part there is a reason why we all joined and one was to gain respect. And how can you gain respect from other people in the world if you can’t even respect the way look and carry yourself...
