Frequently Asked Questions - Cutlass and Accessories
Q - I'm having difficulty inserting the belt through the CPO cutlass buckle. The tabs on the belt won't pass through the slot in the buckle.
A - Though this sounds unconventional... take a flat tip screwdriver and insert it in the slot in the buckle then give it a slight twist. The buckle metal is soft and will open. Don't overdo it here and if you want to go the extra distance, put a piece of tape over the screwdriver tip to keep it from scratching the buckle.
Frequently Asked Questions - Boatswain Pipes and Lanyards
The following is an excerpt from chapter 5 of the US Navy Uniform Regulations regarding the proper wear of the boatswain's pipe and lanyard:
Quote
5404. BOATSWAIN PIPE AND LANYARD The boatswain's pipe and lanyard may be worn around the neck while carrying our official ceremonial duties and military watches. The lanyard is braided with Belfast cord in a traditional style and sennit. When hanging free, the bottom of the pipe shall not fall below the top of the belt. Wear white lanyards with dark/blue uniforms and black lanyards with white uniforms. Men place the pipe in the left breast pocket when not in use. Women wearing Service Dress Blue place the boatswain's pipe attached to the lanyard between the top and second button of their jacket when not in use. Do not wear them on liberty.
End Quote
The existing regulation calls for Belfast cord which is no longer available. We use a superior grade tightly braided black or white nylon cord in the construction of our lanyards. The regulation also fails to mention wear with modern day uniforms such as Khaki or utility fabrics. We are presently working with the Navy Uniform Board (NUB) for clarification/modification of the regulation.
