Would you make a uniform correction on a member of another branch of service?

No, other service uniforms are worn differently. The army and Marine Corps both roll up their sleeves but very differently. Army tucks legs into boots and the Marines add an accessory to blouse em up. No, I would not correct another branch’s uniform unless I was absolutely certain I was right AND I had some operational command of the individual I was correcting.

If you know their policy, go for it. If I salute to a Navy officer, and go to parade rest to Navy NCO then correcting a e-1 in the navy should be the same way.

only if i was very sure about it

I once (as a contractor) barked at a sailor, "GET A COVER ON THAT GRAPE, FREAK!"

I had a song in my heart and a spring in my step for the rest of the day. :)

We as Senior NCO's know what right looks like and I will not allow another member of this nations military to look jacked up

I wouldn't know where to begin. Other branches have such different criteria. Example, an Army guy can spot a guy with a fake patch and I wouldn't have a clue if its fake.

Marines don't generally carry anything in their cargo pockets, it seems to be common in other branches. Intact, many Marines I knew sewed them shut.

That depends on my level of understanding of their regulation versus their level of perceived infraction. If it is a ridiculous infraction that I am certain I am right about I would step in immediately. If it is minor or I am not certain I would catch them by themselves and pose a question that makes them realize I am dubious of their legitimacy. ex. "SGT Smith is that really the way the Army wears their covers?" or "PVT Johnson is there really supposed to be a half inch between your medals and pocket?" Many find that approach to be soft but it keeps honorable SMs correct and the ones who don't give a f*** will be caught by their own service and deal with the consequences accordingly.

Maybe if it's blatant. But I don't spend enough time studying other branches' uniform regulations to be able to point out queepy details.

Agreed I would not know the exact placement of every insignia for every service.

People should be careful when approaching and make sure they understand what is correct. In the Air force we are authorized to wear friday shirts. Those are shirts of different unit colors underneath. Your first impression when seeing an AF guy wearing a red undershirt on friday in ABU or Bag might be WTF???? Then you would proceed to ream that guy and find out that he was within regs that day.

This not only applies to uniforms. I have seen this issue with weapon regs. In the Air Force our enlisted carried M-16's at Joint Base. The Air Force rules were that the weapon had the magazine out with the weapon in a fire mode. The Army regs at that base was that the weapon needed to be on safe. One night I had a sensor operator who was damned if he did and damned if he didn't. We would goto the Army chow hall close to our side of the flight line.

One night an Army SSgt barked at my guy and said "hey you need to have that weapon safe." I stepped in to try to explain our rules. His response was that "I don't care this is an Army chow hall you need to follow our rules and his weapon needs to be safe." I said fine what ever sensor safe the damn thing and fix it when we get out. Not more than 5 minutes while in the chow hall or DFAC an astute Air Force MSgt sees my SO's weapon in the wrong configuration per AF standards. He gives my SO the riot act. I step in again let the MSgt know that the Sensor had just been chewed out by the Army SSgt at the door. The MSgt apologizes to the sensor and tells him to follow AF regs and fix it Then the MSgt proceeds to have a mutual discussion on cross service regulations with the Army SSgt and the issue was no longer brought up again.

This is a tough one....I would say no to uniform corrections, as it is hard to completely understand the regulations of each service to make an accurate correction. An example I recently learned here serving with the Marines is that when it's cold and they wear a beanie cap with their MARPATs, they don't salute. Not exactly a uniform correction, but a difference between services that had to be explained to me. Now multiple this across all services, would be difficult.

Plus, most of us have a hard time understand exactly how to wear all of our uniforms correctly.
