Line 293:

Why did the Marines at Staff Sergeant K. Starks funeral in we are ODST wear black dress uniforms instead of Dress Blues? Signed, Tex the Spartan

:My guess is that the ODST have their own dress uniform in lieu of, (or in addition to), the standard Marine ensemble; it's an ODST's funeral, after all. However, [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OlderThanTheyThink Spartans wear black dress during the washouts' memorial service in ''TFoR''], and Navy personnel wear similar uniforms in the Living Monument trailer, so they clearly aren't exclusive to the ODST. Another possibility is that they are funerary uniforms, a theory I added to [[UNSC Marine Corps Dress Uniform#Black dress|this article]] a long time ago. --[[User:Braidenvl|Courage never dies.]] ([[User talk:Braidenvl|talk]]) 01:35, 8 January 2013 (EST)

:I know, thanks. Question is why do they have a separate uniform just for funerals and memorials? 1-1 Marines

:::Given that we don't see the dress blues after the events of ''Contact Harvest'', it's entirely possible that the black dress replaced them.--[[User:The All-knowing Sith'ari|The All-knowing Sith'ari]] ([[User talk:The All-knowing Sith'ari|talk]]) 03:37, 31 January 2013 (EST)
