Thanks Jim. I know the RCPO carries the cutlass and I've seen that in today's graduation. I was just curious because another parent suggested this that the RCPO receives a ceremonial one after PIR or can get one to commemorate their position. Not part of the uniform but more decoration. I just wasn't sure if that was a true statement. It's not a big deal, just curious.

There is a difference between an E-7 and a Chief. Any Chief will let that be known.

Paul mentioned Officers having cutlasses. Not so, Officers wear sabers. This is mostly used for ceremonial purposes. You can see the difference of saber and cutlass in the warfare devices worn today. You will see the cutlasses on the silver devices and sabers on the gold devices. Gold devices that are worn by officers and enlisted have neither sabers nor cutlasses.

I do not believe so....the cutlass is ceremonial and think that only commissioned officers can possess one

We did also just kept telling how proud we were of her. And kept telling her a lot of positive things that she will be doing. Tell her to keep her head up listen to what they say and do not talk. Also write her as much as possible .Me being prior military letters mean so much. They will read and reread them over and over. Just keep the letters coming to her.

My soon to be sailor has less than two weeks before she leaves for boot camp. I am going to write her a letter to read while she flying to GL. Anybody else do this, and what did it mean to your sailor?
