Service Charlies

commonly referred to as "Chucks"

Cover

The green garrison cover (depicted) or barracks cover may be worn.

Badges

(optional) Marksmanship badges are centered above the left breast pocket with the bottom edge of the holding bar ⅛ inch above the pocket’s edge.

When two badges are worn, they are symmetrically placed with about ¾ inch between holding bars.  Women’s uniform may be as little as ¼ inch in between bars. When three badges are worn, ¼ inch spacing and ⅛ spacing for women.

The top of the skinnier holding bar, usually the pistol badge, is alligned with the top of the thicker bar. This will result in greater than 1/8 inch spacing between its holding bar and the pocket.

TIP: find a brand of tight white crew necks that don't wrinkle around the neck. These are fine.

From the Order:

The short-sleeve khaki shirt with appropriate service trousers or skirt/slacks is designated as the service "C" uniform. During the winter season, commanders may, at their discretion when the weather requires, authorize the service "C" uniform. This uniform may be worn as a uniform of the day and for leave or liberty, unless otherwise prescribed by the commander, and may be prescribed for formations at parades or ceremonies on and off the military activity. This uniform will not be worn for formal or semiformal social events.

Officer and enlisted female service uniforms are the same, except officers wear their rank insignia on the shirt collar and enlisted Marines wear cloth insignia on their sleeves.
