Where can I find written guidance on how to wear the uniform of a SPC in a Dress Blue/Class A?

2018-12-11T19:12:14-05:00

I am looking for some specific information regarding the Army Specialist uniform. In consulting all of the regulations, the information regarding "Specialist" is vague and not very clear. I have looked everywhere I believe I could possibly find that spells out how a Specialist uniform is supposed to be set up. Is there any written guidance anywhere specifically for the SPC ? The AR 670-1 & DA PAM 670-1, do not really talk about the SPC at all. They show a couple of figures but all the other ranks are the ones talked about. Can somebody point me to where anything that is written on how to wear the uniform of a SPC in a Dress Blue/ Class A? Most of the other SPCs I'm around do not even have a Dress Blue uniform yet. It is clearly different than the others.
There are some burning questions that need clarification in reference to this. I need to answer these questions and answer them correctly. Could anyone help me with this please?

Why do you think the wear is different for the SPC rank? You will follow the same guidelines that you had as a PVT, PV2 and PFC. If you get a lateral move to Corporal, then you will have to add stripes to your pants as other Officers (commissioned, non-commissioned, and warrant) do.

I am confused about your confusion here.

You've admitted to knowing where to look. Clarify what perplexes you and you cant find: rank insignia? Nameplate? Unit Awards? Personal awards and decorations? Headgear?order of precedent for awards?

DA PAM 670-1 ch.19-7, e.(2)(a). “All specialists and below will wear the nonsubdued, pin-on grade insignia on the collar of the service uniform shirt, the black all-weather coat, and the windbreaker. Insignia is worn centered on both collars, with the centerline of the insignia bisecting the points of the collar, 1 inch up from the collar point (see fig 19–56).” (Pg. 167). An illustration follows in figure 19-56

Obviously you need to Google “Specialist” uniform regs. I’m sure APD has a specific reg on wear and appearance of E4’s.
