So I wanted to poll the other NROTC units out there and anyone else who cares. The uniform in question is SDB jacket, whether worn and service dress, full dress, or dinner dress. Should OC's wear large gold plain anchors on the lapel of the jacket.
I'm curious about two things, (1) what other units are doing? (2) how everyone else interprets the Uniform Regs.
Here is what I read:
Article 6101.6 outlines the requirements for Officer Candidates sleeve (embroidered five point gold stars), Article 6106.10a states "Coat collar insignia consists of plain gold anchors indicating midshipman status..." Most of Chapter 6 is extremely clear in differentiating between the status of Officer Candidates and midshipman, therefore I read this to mean NOT Officer Candidates.
