I know sometimes people post something "for someone I know" when it's really for themselves. fyi- not this time.
A parent posted the following on a FB site: "My (NROTC) 3/C mid is a groomsmen (is) in LT older brothers SpaceForce wedding in December. Groom wants him in mess dress. It hasnt been issued - any clue if we are allowed to acquire it ourselves, if he is allowed to wear it and if so where / how to acquire mess dress?" Any recommendations on what if any Navy uniform this 3/c Midn can wear to a wedding? Outside of Frank Abignale, Jr or Judge Snells, should anyone not a military officer wear an officer uniform?
Navy Officer mess dress is typically is only worn at the O4 (Lt. Commander) rank and above (to my understanding), not when you're a sophomore trainee in college in NROTC (USNA Midn uniform expectations/ issuances are reportedly different)... What about Service Blues, Summer whites that he may already be in possession of (Borrowed Gov't property he can keep should be complete the NROTC training or must return if he does not)?
all feedback welcome. Thanks in advance.
