USMC EMBROIDERED CHIEF WARRANT OFFICER 5 RANK INSIGNIA FOR EVENING DRESS

Our silver-and-scarlet Chief Warrant Officer 5 (CWO-5) Evening Dress Uniform insignia of grade is embroidered onto a swatch of cloth which is subsequently stitched on the shoulder straps of the men’s and women’s Evening Dress jacket. Rules for placement on the shoulder strap are based only on the position and orientation of the insignia proper, not the cloth on it has been embroidered.

To attach the CWO-5 insignia, turn the cloth so that the ends of the insignia’s long axis are pointing to the wearer’s front and rear; the ends should be equidistant from the front and back edges of the shoulder strap (these are sometimes referred to as epaulets), and the insignia bar should be parallel to the shoulder seam. Position the cloth so that the outer edge of the insignia bar (closest to shoulder) is 3/4 of an inch from armhole seam.
