Army wearing NECU

[TheHDMIGuy]

Good afternoon everyone!

Everyone in the office has gone down a terrible rabbit hole this afternoon and work has now come to a halt so we've decided to reach out to the hive mind.

Situation: Army member attached to a Naval Unit or a ship. Can that member wear NECU's (with their army rank on it)

We can't find anything in the dress policy but we have found some random references online. Army members can now order black name tapes on Logistics as well...it's what started this whole conversation.

If posted to a ship, all members wear NCDs(NECUs are officially NCDs now), the air Det is a bit different because they are a detachment on TD on the ship, not hard posted to the ship. CA and RCAF members wear their element specific name tags and ranks on their NCD.

If posted to a shore unit, CA and RCAF members wear their CADPAT, the same way a RCN member posted to an air force or army unit wears NCDs unless in the field or in a "field unit" like 2 RCHA, 1 PPCLI, etc...

The way I have always seen it onboard with naval uniforms is army and airforce people wear their parent environment name tapes and ranks.
