As per the Marine Corps order...."Ribbon bars will be centered 1/8 inch above and parallel to the top edge of the upper left pocket of dress "B" coats, service coats, and men's khaki shirts. When marksmanship badges are worn, ribbon bars will be centered over the pocket with the bottom edge of the ribbon bar
1/8 inch above the widest holding bar of the marksmanship badge(s)."
no such thing as placement of shooting badges on dress blue "alphas." the alphas are the jacket with large medals. the dress blue "bravo" is the blues jacket worn with ribbons and badges.
VIA MCO P1020.34F paragraph 3019 "The necktie will be tied so that the length will be between top and bottom of the belt buckle."
First of all, why do such a thing? Second, you rate to wear all ribbons you earn as a Marine.
Yes, there is prior service ribbon. You should talk to someone in admin to see what you can/can't wear from your Army service.
It's the Charlie uniform. There are Alphas, Bravos, Charlies and Blues. Charlies, or chucks as they're called are green trousers and a short sleeved khaki shirt sans tie.
Dress blue bravos or deltas would be more appropriate.
The placement of ribbons on all US military uniforms must be done according to an "Oder of Precedence". There are lists and photo charts available everywhere.
For dress uniforms, medals always go on the left breast, ribbons on the right breast.
one 8th of an inch above the left breast pocket
Check the Marine Corps Order P1020.34G to ensure you have the correct placement and order of precedence. Marine On Line can even print you out a little picture of your awards in order. Put the jacket or shirt on a hanger and use two pennies together to assist you in measuring your 1/8th inch. You could always ask your NCOs for help. That's what they're their for!
Check the Marine Uniform regulations. They will specify what ribbons you are authorized to wear from the Army. Medals awarded are normally going to be allowed, but ribbons that don't come with medals probably won't be.
NO. The Commander's Award for Civilian Service is an honorary award presented by the Dept of the Army to civilian employees for commendable service or achievement. Only Army civilian employees are eligible to receive it, so there would be no way for a U.S. Marine to wear it on his uniform.
