OFFICIAL CHANGE 2 TO THE CADET FIELD MANUAL

1.   This change is to clarify drill and uniform standards delineated in the Cadet Field Manual

2. Make the changes:

2.1. Make cut and paste change to page 1-37, para 5 to reflect proper aiguillette placement.

5. Aiguillettes may be awarded as earned for
   various academic and military achievements,
   and may be worn only on the Service Dress
   Blue, Winter Blue and Summer Blue uniforms.
   Aiguillettes awarded by the naval science
   instructor for such things as color guard,
   drill team, academic team and the like,
   will be worn only on the left shoulder.
   Only the Leadership Academy aiguillette
   will be worn on the right shoulder. no more
   than one aiguillette may be worn on each
   shoulder. Aiguillettes will be attached to
   the appropriate shoulder by either a gold
   coat button on the Service Dress Blue
   uniform, or a miniature  anchor (garrison
   cap) on the Winter Blue and Summer Blue
   uniforms. The button or anchor shall be
   placed so that the entire aiguillette will
   be secured to the coat or shirt so that the
   aiguillette hangs on the shoulder parallel
   to the seam of the coat or shirt.
   Aiguillettes are not authorized for wear
   on the peacoat, all-weather jacket, Winter
   Working Blue and Working Khaki uniforms.
 


                                   1-37 (chg 2)

 

Note:  For the female Summer White Shirt, the anchor shall be placed under the epilate as shown on page 1-38.  This procedure will allow
the aiguillette to hang parallel to the sleeve seam. The photo on page 1-28 shows the aiguillette hanging correctly while the one on page 1-9 is incorrect.
 

 

 

 

2.2. Make pen and ink change to Page 1-39, para d, #2, line 4 to reflect deletion of 30% limitation on number of Distinguished units. Change sentence to read:
