@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.
Do you have to be commissioned to receive the ceremony?
