U.S. ARMY MESS/EVENING MESS SERVICE STRIPES (SET OF 3)

This set of three service stripes is authorized for wear by Enlisted Soldiers in the Active Army, Army National Guard, or Army Reserve with between nine and eleven years (cumulative) of honorable service in the Active or Reserve components of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, or Coast Guard.

Designed for wear on both jacket sleeves of the Blue or White Mess/Evening Mess uniform, the stripe set is worn from seam to seam at a 30-degree angle, with the lowest part of the bottom stripe inserted into the front inside seam 1/4” above the cuff braid on the Blue jacket and 3” above the bottom of the sleeve on the White jacket. (Service stripes are worn only on the left sleeve of the Army Service/Dress uniform jacket.)

The size (width) of the service stripe must correspond to the size of the rank insignia worn on the Mess/Evening mess uniform jacket. Use the selection boxes to the right to choose the size as well as the color of the stripe set’s backing fabric, which must match the color of the uniform on which it will be attached.
