What is that device?

[Johnny_Danger]

Worn on uniformed... it appears to be a gold/yellow braided rope that is worn around the shoulder? What is it for? What does it signify? What is it called?

An aiguillette.... basically the Admiral's b!tch/gopher....

John! I know you are on a staff but are you the butt-boy?

 

[Gatordev]

Quiet HAL, you're ruining it! It doesn't matter if he really isn't (I don't think he is). It's all about the lies.

I am NOT a leg shaver, loop or otherwise known as a Flag LT.... if I was, I would be enjoying my life more, and getting out on travel...

No, I am just a lowly exercise and plans officer... ASW time anyone? That has forgotten what a flight suit looks like... damn shoes!!!

[skidkid]

You mean like the USNA "thanks for not having a scandal" MUC?

 

[zab1001]

At least the MUC is just a ribbon...but yeah, very similar

 

[Circle K]

That MUC is pretty rare, it's just too darn easy for annapolis to have a scandal, or for the washington post to create one of it's own.
