Some of these uniforms were given to me and some belonged to my family. The first photo is a Marine Corps 1st Sgt who served during Korea and Vietnam, The second & third is a Navy grey uniform that was issued for only a short period of time during WW2. The badge is a war time specialty rate for a athletic instructor. The last is my brothers tailor made uniform, he was a second class aviation electrician's mate.
Yes, not the standard uniform and my brother had to watch out for officers. but I sure like those dragon cuffs. I was still in high school when he came home on liberty wearing those "cracker jacks".
I too still have my Dress Blues, mine are original issue but 'liberty cuffs were added while I was active, mine are sharks for the Mediteranian Sea. The dragons here were for he Far East. The Gray uniform is neat , I've not seen on either and I got out in 1967 !
