Hello,
I apologize for having to ask this here, but being ROTP, I am no longer closely attached to a unit from my element within 200km of my location.
I am working on getting my uniforms in order now that I am in the Navy, and I have ordered a few extra shoulder board sets. I purchased some lace online through Marlow-White, and it is significantly different (far nicer, actually) from the issued lace I have for my DEU, which hasn't been attached yet.
My question is: What is the current rule for the material of lace used on Naval Officers DEU/Shoulder Boards? I know that the Dress Manual says that superseded materials may not be used on the DEU, but it was my understanding that the new executive curl required a different lacing material than that provided, and the Dress Manual has not been updated since this change. Is it now common practice to use the more metallic golden lace, or is the CF Gold still in general use?
Thanks for the help,
ekpiper
