UNIFORMS OF THE MARINE CORPS LEAGUE
It was recently brought to my attention that MCL members were not authorized to wear the DOD issued shooting badges on your MCL uniform. THAT INFORMATION IS FALSE. Para XI Enclosure 3 National Administration Procedures specifically states for the Long Sleeve and Short Sleeve White Undress uniform, DOD authorized WINGS and Badges are authorized. MEDALS and MEDALLIONS may not be worn on the UNDRESS UNIFORMS.

- Marine Corps League Sunburst insignias on collar, centered 1/2" inside the collar tip, with the wings of the emblem parallel to the deck.
- Shoulder patches as authorized (Paragraph IV).

Only one of these devices, medallions, or collars, may be worn at a time at the option of the wearer. NOTE – MEDALLIONS MAY NOT BE WORN WITH ANY OTHER STYLE SHIRT (I.E., POLO, T-SHIRT, OR CIVILIAN DRESS SHIRTS.)
