  • @GWKYOU You just have to know the right people.

  • Welcome to the Navy, Ma'am.

  • @Assassin7G3 Ah, that's right, 'non-commisioned officer' is 'petty officer' in the navy :P. And looking into it, you're right, enlisted men can wear a cutlass with a CO's authorization (and I would assume a wedding is exactly the kind of occasion you would get that authorization for).

  • @TheOnlineCommunity There are Swords for Chiefs in the Form of a Cutlass, There are no NCO's in the Navy their are Chiefs and Petty Officers (I'm sorry if it looks like, I'm phasing this in a mean way, I mean no offense.)

    But I had that lesson well taught in me by my Old Naval Science Instructor 1st. Sgt Leech, That and about 50 push-ups every time. XD

  • @interlagos80s you're an idiot

  • @TheOnlineCommunity Actually now that you mention it, that makes sense. I would have to look into that more.

  • @ToxicVisionZ Any saber is a type of sword :)

  • @ExiledHickory Yeah, but I assume you have to be of equal or greater rank than those who do the sword ceremony. In the Marines, non-commissioned officers can wear swords. In the Navy, only the officer's sword is allowed, there is no sword for NCOs, and I assume officers would never perform a sword ceremony for a subordinate member.

  • how awkward is it to keep staring into the eyes of another man like that..

  • @GWKYOU Yes and no. You can't if you're not in the Navy, but if your Navy ROTC or go to USNA then usually they will before yoour commisioned.
