For the past year, Marines have seen the new physical training uniform change from concept to its current design. 

According to All Marine Message 019/08, Marines now have a set of defined rules for wearing the new uniform when it becomes available to fleet Marines later this year. 

The ALMAR states the running suit can be worn in any combination with the green shorts and undershirt, however the uniform cannot be worn with the green  PT sweats.

Marines sporting the jacket with proper civilian attire are only authorized to wear it zipped up at least halfway to the top of the zipper as an outer garment.

Marines assigned to Wounded Warrior battalions are receiving the new PT gear. Later this year, recruits are expected to receive the uniform as part of their issued gear during boot camp.

All Marines must have the uniform no later than October 2009, according to the message.

Other changes to the uniform regulations include authorization to wear the Marine Corps green sweatshirt in conjunction with civilian attire.


POLICY

The most important starting point for an EMS* is the development of an environmental policy. ISO14001 requires local governments to implement their own environmental policy. The environmental policy acts as a basis for the environmental management system.

PLANNING

ISO14001 requires that an environmental management system is planned properly. It requires the organization to consider the following carefully: Environmental Aspects; Legal and Other Aspects; Objectives and Targets; and an Environmental Management Program.

IMPLEMENTATION

The two requirements for implementation of an EMS is to define, document, and communicate roles, responsibilities and authorities, and to allocate the resources needed to implement and control the EMS.

CHECKING

The key requirement in this EMS step is to regularly monitor and measure key characteristics of activities and operations that could have a significant impact on the environment. Changes to EMS procedures may become necessary in order to deal with nonconformances with the EMS, with mitigating environmental impacts, or corrective and preventive action.

REVIEW

The management review process ensure that information is collected to enable management to carry out proper review. Top management review the need for changes to policy, objectives and targets, and ensure that a commitment to continual improvement is being demonstrated.
