I'm in AFJROTC, I've been in 2 semesters and have only worn service dress 2 times counting tomorrow, we usually do open collar (blues no tie, idk if everyone calls it that though) or ABUs on Tuesdays, I'm too lazy to look through the cadet guide to figure out the ranks for service dress.
Gonna be in formation for my first change of command ceremony tomorrow and narrating another one this week. I was stressed about my blues but this really helped!
For the occupational badge, does it matter if the badge goes under the collar of the blue a little? Mines is centered above my ribbons but the collar covers the badge slightly.
I was a Cadwt Major at an All Male Military Academy. I was required to wear my Class A Dress Ujiform daily. I used many of these same practices and my Uniforms held up beautifully. Your video on how to make a single Windsor know tie was great too. In fact as part of my personal inspections was I require all Cadwts to remove their jackets and make sure all ties touched the belt. In fact I increased Class A Dress requirements to 85% of the School year. Yes they hated it so Imcreased it to 90%, 10 Years of Military School and 5 years in the service putting on my uniform and wearing it properly was pretty easy. Good way to show disviploine.
My jacket pocket below where my ribbons are is slightly slanted, so I was told to make it parallel with the ground not the pocket, 🤷♂️, not sure if the uniform is messed up but I wish my pocket was straight
I noticed if you put a ruler under the ribbons, they are slightly slanted if you run to the other side. Is the nametape going to be slanted or is it straight?
What about buttoning the coat? In a debate with a friend who says to never button the bottom button. I've heard you button while standing and can unbutton while sitting. He's army and I've only done usaf JROTC so I don't really know.
I'm in aircraft maintenance and there is a small badge and a larger one for us. The AFI can be confusing on that part. Are they the same size if you wear the blues shirt with the service coat? One for the shirt and coat?
Wish you would’ve went into more detail... for example, you never mentioned where the service coat name tag goes as far as left/right on the right-hand side of the coat. I know the AFI does but the measurements are in relation to parts of the clothes that is hard to pinpoint through text only.
I understand and I'm sorry if it wasn't enough detail for you. It doesn't really have a measurement. It is just based on where your ribbons are on the pocket side. I do show the trick on getting then straight but I'm sorry if it was still confusing.
I’m really trying to figure something out. Can an officer have an enlisted rank patch and if so would it be because of them being enlisted then switching to officer?
Officers can't wear enlisted rank. But did you mean some other kind of patch? Because if you go from enlisted to officer you could wear your old job patch.
It didn't seem seem necessary to do a how to on a clip on tie. Everyone that joins gets a real tie and I have a video on that all by itself. Sorry if you were looking for how to use them.
That's because I was setting up mine for ALS for this video. But it is directly across and level with the pocket on the other side. So it will be on your right side while wearing it.
