Thank you for this comprehensive list of sites.  I don't know why I've
had such a difficult time finding these on my own.  I need one more
bit of information-- I would love to find pictures of how to properly
wear various insignia.

I get very nervous when asked to provide anything military because
it's so easy to get wrong.

Thanks,
costumegal

Hi costumegal,

At one of the websites I provided, there's a description of where to
wear each insignia:

Grunts Military
http://www.gruntsmilitary.com/

For example, clicking on 'Army Rank' takes you to the following page:

http://www.gruntsmilitary.com/rank2.shtml


Click on 'United States Army Enlisted Rank Insignia'

http://www.gruntsmilitary.com/rank3.shtml


Here you will find the location the respective insignia is worn.

You will find this information for each of the ranks listed when
clicking on the appropriate links.


I hope that helps.

Best regards,
Rainbow
