My wife and I will be attending the Marine Corps Ball and I will take care of toys for tots in my area this year. I cant remember how far down to place my cpl chevrons and how far up my service stripe goes. Any help?

The cheverons is 4 inches from the seam and the service strips i think is 1 inch above the sleeve seam i may be wrong there

The service stripe info is not accurate, the chevron info is. Check out the other post I sent - The service stripes on Blues jacket is touching the tip of the "(some fancy shmancy word)" of the sleeve of the jacket at a 30 degree angle. Subsequent stripes are spaced 1/8 inch above the first and parrallel. Better details on the link I sent.

Have you tried taking your Blues from when you where in and measure them or even your Alphas?
