I joined the MCL a few months ago and volenteered to do color guard. Of course I then attempted to put on my charlie shirt and the trousers from my blues. Well the trousers I could not get over my butt and the shirt I could not button. So I went to ebay and found both of under $40. with shipping. I need to add the blood strip to my trousers but I am not sure excately where it is placed on the trousers. Any help is really appreciated.
I don't know the specifics since I had the tailors do it but I do know they sit pretty much even with the front "flap" of your pockets.Quote:

They wear a white shirt with all of the necessary ribbons, badges, and patches.
My brother is the 3rd one in from the left, standing next to they guy with the ribbon around his neck.
This is a recent pic of some of our MCL members from our Memorial Day parade.

Doc I've been living with a squid for 17 years and have yet to see her wearing a uniform containing a blood stripe.
You're right, Robert!! It's been so long, I thought Squids had a red stripe on their shoulder, for being at sea.....DUH!! That's what happens when your memory gets fried with today's prescription meds!!!
