uniform Marines may wear it to and from their domicile, unless otherwise
prohibited by the commander. Commanders may authorize the wear of the utility
uniform for brief and appropriate stops off-base during duty hours or while
commuting. Defining appropriate and necessary is a command responsibility
requiring the exercise of sound judgment and common sense. Preventing abuse of
the privilege demands that commanders know where their Marines are during to
ensure that stops are in fact brief, appropriate and in keeping with the spirit of
regulations. In no case will the utility uniform be treated or regarded as a leave or
liberty uniform except when prescribed by commanders to meet special (normally
overseas/deployed/etc.) requirements to include certain emergency leave
situations.
