Where is the rank insignia placed on the collar?

The rank insignia is placed 1 inch from the tip of the collar and 1/2 inch on each side, which aligns with military standards for uniform wear. This specific placement ensures that the insignia is clearly visible and properly positioned for quick recognition of rank.

The distance from the tip of the collar allows the insignia to sit centrally in a way that is proportionate with the overall appearance of the uniform. Additionally, the side measurements ensure uniformity across ranks, helping to maintain a cohesive and professional look among service members. This standard placement is part of the uniform regulations designed to promote discipline and uniformity within the ranks.

By adhering to this specific guideline, cadets are also better prepared for inspections and demonstrate their understanding of military customs and courtesies.
