They say that Marines don’t see skin-color, and that all Marines are green. While this is debatable with regard to race and ethnicity, it’s hard not to notice becoming drastically two-toned during your enlistment.
Marines spend a lot of time outside. As well, uniform regulations state that the vast majority of the time spent outside will be done with at least a T-shirt on. Field-ops, working parties, training, formations, and more will see Marines standing out in the sun for often hours on-end.
