When  charged  with  holding  sea-bag  inspections consult  local  instructions  for  prescribed  procedures. The petty officer assigned to hold sea-bag inspections could use the following as a guide for the inspection: ·   Prescribe   a   time   and   a   place   to   hold   the inspection.  Remember  the  sea  bag  contains many items, so room for the items to be laid out will be needed. ·   Have  a  current  list  of  all  required  items  along with a copy of the stencil marking section from the Uniform Regulations. ·   Instruct  the  person  to  present  each  item  as  you call  it  off  the  list,  or  the  person  can  present  an item and you can mark it off the list. Remember to check the quantity of each item. ·   Check  the  clothing  for  required  stenciling  and other required markings. ·   When   the   inspection   is   complete,   have   the person  sign  the  inspection  list  to  acknowledge items   missing,   needing   replacement,   or maintenance. PETTY OFFICER’S INSIGNIA As  a  petty  officer,  you  should  set  an  example  for subordinates  both  in  conduct  and  in  appearance.  An important  part  of  your  appearance  is  the  manner  in which  you  wear  your  uniform  and  insignia.  The  term insignia includes cloth rating badges, which are worn on the left sleeve of your uniform, collar insignia, and insignia worn on military headgear. Rating Badges Rating badges for petty officers differ according to paygrade, specialty, size, and color. They consist of a perched  eagle  with  extended  wings  pointing  upward and  its  head  facing  right.  As  shown  in  figure  2-3, chevrons, indicating the wearer’s rate, and a specialty mark,   indicating   the   wearer’s   rating,   make   up   the badge.  Rating  badges  worn  on  blue  working  jackets and   chambray   shirts   have   no   specialty   mark. Chambray   iron-on   or   sew-on   rating   badges   are permitted   on   chambray   shirts.   Chevrons   on   rating badges for men, E-4 through E-6, measure 3 1/4 inches wide.  Chevrons  on  women’s  rating  badges  measure 2  1/2  inches  wide  and  their  rating  insignia  are  three fourths  of  the  size  of  men’s  insignia.  The  men’s  size rating  badge  is  worn  on  the  pea  coat  whether  the  pea coat is worn by a man or a woman. Standard   navy   blue   rating   badges   have embroidered  backgrounds  and  are  worn  on  navy  blue uniforms. You may wear navy blue badges mounted on fabric  which  matches  the  fabric  color  and  cleaning characteristics  of  the  uniform  on  which  it  is  worn. Rating   badges   with   white   backgrounds   match   the fabric  of  uniforms  on  which  they  are  worn.  Colors  of the eagle, specialty mark, chevrons, and service stripes for prescribed uniforms and components are described in table 2-1. 2-9 Figure 2-3.
