What is his position in the White House?
Why was he chosen to escort Melanie Trump?
Does anyone know formal protocol associated with escort?
Warmest Regards, Sandy :)

Well he is probably from Marine Barracks 8th & I. He's a CPT. And probably picked for the duties of the escort, or maybe POTUS requested him. For Marine Barracks duty you have to be one hell of a Marine. If you would like more information here's a URL https://marineparents.com/marinecorps/8th&i.asp

He has a rope which would indicate he is a flag aid. CPT so the Flag would be a one star. Unless all of the members of The Headquarters and Service Company wear them because they are a ceremonial unit. All of the pictures I could find of the 8th & I the Marines are not wearing ropes.

The aiguillette is worn by both Aides and Marines assigned to the White House when the duty and uniform dictates. More info can be found in MCO P1020.34G CHANGE 1-5. It is over 200 pages and you may have problems downloading, depending on bandwidth available. I've posted a link to some dated remarks regarding aiguillettes that likely have not changed much, if at all. There are some differences between the wear by Aides and WH personnel, specifically the shoulder worn on. Aiguillettes should not be confused with lanyards or the fourragere worn by members of the 5th and 6th Marine Regiments for their service in WW I.

Thanks, CWO3 (Join to see) how long has it been used, now I feel a little bit at a loss, because I don't remember having ever seen it. Of course I spent my 7 years on the west coast and Okinawa

Anything to brighten her day - she has a tough job being such a loyal wife and mother - constantly in the public eye - with so much speculation about her private relationship - obviously strained by recent rumors in the mainstream and even more in fringe media.

Didn't mean for it to be rude. Didn't even put 2 and 2 together until it was pointed out.

it's okay because you made me laugh because I thought of that crazy left Wing Australian radical singer from Midnight Oil he would never ever be someone who could work for president Trump because he is more left Bernie Sanders is.
