Same reason they have to put the little stips of white tape on there cover, socks, shoes, undershirts and everything else they wear. Even dog tags. It's Identification. In case something happens to them. Also when you have a room of Marines everyone's gear looks the same so this also helps keep track of which item belongs to which Marine.
I was in 1982-86 and our utilities had no name tape.
you tape them when you are wearing them
In my time in the Marine Corps, I have never seen a Navy Corpsman wearing anything resembling a Marine Corps emblem (Eagle, Globe, and Achor). Navy Corpsman do however wear a Hospital Corpsman emblem on their left collar and their rank insignia on the right side collar. The Hospital Corpsman emblem looks like a shield with the medical symbol of 2 snakes wrapped around a staff or rod with wings. They are allowed to wear Marine Corps Uniforms, but are not allowed to wear any Marine Corps insignia; they must instead wear insignia identifying them as being Navy personal. When wearing the Marine cammies, they do not have the EGA (Eagle, Globe, and Anchor) on the cover (hat) or left side breast pocket. They also have US Navy on the left name tape, instead of US Marine. They are however expected to maintain Marine Corps standards when in a Marine Uniform. All of this is explained in MCO P1020.34F. Add: I'm sitting here looking at my husband's (A Navy Corpsman) cover and there is, in face, an EGA on the front of the cover. ADD The corpsman never use to wear it till recently when they began using the marine core marpat uniform if they were a field corpsman which has an eagle globe and anchor on the pocket and cover. Though they are not marines they still wear it since they serve with the marines.
get string tape and hemp...
Duct tape!
Tape, glue?? by rubbing it on to stick because of electricity
The scientific name for tape is "adhesive tape."
On some Velcro products there is a sticky side so it can stick to pants. For the non-stick type, you have to sew it on by sewing through the edges of the tape.
Use a good iron-on mending tape. Available in Walmart notions dept.
Originally, the tape was made of "duck cloth" material. But it's name was DUCT TAPE. However "duck" sounds like "duct" in the real name "duct tape". One company's competing brand is called "duck tape brand duct tape". But the correct name is still "duct tape".
They can inflate you just need to tape the legs shut and put a water hose in it and then u will start to inflate. It is soo funnn. ive done it before and i love it. you can also do this with air and helium but u will need to tape the top of the pants too and securely put the hose in.
I have bought a pair of pants that is a bit longer than my usual size. Rather than go to a tailor and have the length trimmed, i just used double sided tape to tape the fold at the bottom. It works.
