Good day everyone,
I have a question about mess kit regulations. I tried to do my own research but I haven't found the answers I was looking for.
I would like to know where to wear jump wings on a naval mess kit. I am a former Army NCO who recently switched as a Naval Officer. I bought a mess kit from a retired Commander, brought it to a tailor shop to get it altered, the tailor did not know where to put them.
I have seen pictures of sailors with their medals on the lapel and dive badge on the "chest part" of the jacket. So, instead of being over the medals it is "at the end of it" to the side. I also seen some people wearing their submariner badge on the cuff.
Is the regulation different for the black jacket and the white jacket?
Also, the mess kit came with a white waistcoat, which is in pretty bad shape. Can I wear the mess kit without the waistcoat or is it part of the uniform?
