Sam, certainly not directed at you. After 23 years of following the rules, my retirement did not entitle me to do as I please with my uniform (or does it?).

Every year I shave off the beard and get what closely resembles a high and tight (albeit Army standards ). My point however is, respect for my service and uniform. Because I'm retired does not give me the right to place my decorations any way I wish, nor to wear unauthorized foreign awards (any way I wish), and certainly not to just dawn my blues any way I like.

Sadly, I'm not a serving Marine and will have to buy my first and subsequent rounds myself
