Enlisted Blue Dress B (Ribbons and Badges)

The only difference between Blue Dress A and Blue Dress B is medals or badges.

RIBBONS are centered above the left breast pocket and ⅛ inch above the upper edge of the pocket. When marksmanship badges are worn, ribbons are centered over the pocket with the bottom edge of the ribbons ⅛ inch above the widest holding bar. 

BADGES are centered over the left breast pocket, with the bottom edge of the holding bar ⅛ inch above the pocket’s top edge.  The top edges of the badges will be aligned.   When two badges are worn, they are symmetrically placed on a line with about 3/4 inch space between holding bars. 1/4 inch spacing if three badges. (1/4 inch and 1/8 inch spacing for women)

COLLAR EGA:   "Dress collar insignia will be worn on the blue and white dress coats and evening dress jackets placed in the eyelets provided, with eagles facing inboard.  The MCO states that the Eagle's wings shall be parallel the bottom of the coat (or the deck), however, MARADMIN 598/18 adjusted this to parallel the collar. 

"2.g.1.  Change paragraph 4001.3.a(1) to read: Insignia will be aligned vertically in the center of each side of the collar on the mens blue dress coats and the new female blue dress coat and the male officer evening dress jacket. On the staff non-commissioned officer and female evening dress jackets, the insignia will be worn on the lapel, on each side with the bottom edge horizontally parallel to the deck."

BREAST INSIGNIA (Wings) are centered ⅛ inch above the top row of ribbons

GRADE INSIGNIA is 4 inches below the shoulder seam, centered on each sleeve.  (3 inches for E8 and above)

SERVICE STRIPES: the lower point of the bottom stripe meets the point of the "piping" at a 30 degree angle on each sleeve.

BELTS Enlisted white web belt ist worn on the natural waistline, through the belt loops. Cut the belt to length. The brass buckle shall be polished and centered with the buttons. Do not line up the buckle with the coat edge. Officer's belts are black and the buckle worn centered in a similar fashion. Line the excess belt holder loop up with the edge of the bottom left pocket. Do not wear the cloth belt if wearing the Sam Browne Belt.

Blue - White Dress is the same uniform with white trousers. Typically worn in the summer.
