thanks for the compliments!
and i dont think i want to mix my civilian attire with my military attire...just not for me | The wearing of miniature medals on civilian formal wear is correct, though -- it is not considered "mixing" of military kit and civilian "mufti".

Todd

Switchblade:
Looking good, man! I'd wear miniature medals with civilian attire---but a good cookie and a fire watch don't make a very imposing display!

Of course you don't have to, but I figure if you earned them, wear them.

Is that a satin or leather cuff on the jacket? It looks like different material.

| | | Trust me on this
Y'all DON'T want to tell a Marine what he MUST do. Switchblade is entitled to wear his miniature medals----but that ain't nearly the same thing as saying he HAS to.
Back to thread: Looking at the hard charging young lance coolie reminds me that ---for me---the dress blue uniform really does look best with a blood stripe.
Semper fi . . . .
