Gold for all: Navy ending use of red ‘misconduct’ uniform stripes
March 31, 2019 Joshua Karsten - Stars and Stripes
The Navy is doing away with “misconduct†red stripes for senior sailors, among other changes outlined in a new uniform policy released Monday.
The 13 changes are a result of feedback received from the fleet, according to the message signed by Chief of Naval Personnel Vice Adm. Robert Burke.
Starting June 1, all sailors over the 12-year service mark will be authorized to wear gold chevrons on their dress and service uniforms, a stark contrast to the red stripe worn by some senior enlisted sailors as a visible sign of misconduct from some point in their careers.
