Here's another article and a better picture that should answer the collar question.

At $88+ per set, this is going to cost plenty and since Commissioned and Warrant Officers have to buy their own uniforms, I am not anxious for this thing to be fielded any time soon (not that I have to worry in this unit - we're pretty much at the bottom of the stack for equipment ![]() |
