 a bar and pinned to the coat, provided no portion of the bar and pin

 row they shall not be made to overlap, as in the case of medals, but 
 shall be arranged in two or more parallel rows, placed one under the 
 other with an interval of one-quarter inch between the bottom of one

 scribed uniform of the day. When leaving the ship, they shall wear 
 the same uniform as other enlisted men. 
 
 39. The jersey may be worn, by men for whom prescribed, as an 
 outer garment from sunset until 8 a. m., either in place of the over- 
 shirt or jumper or over it. During the day the jersey may be pre- 
 scribed as an outer garment for drills, exercises, or working parties 
 
16 UNIFORM REGULATIONS UNITED STATES NAVY. 
 
 on board ship, in boats, or on shore at a navy yard or naval station, 
 to be worn in place of or over the overshirt or jumper. As an addi- 
 tional undergarment, the jersey may be prescribed to be worn under 
 the jumper or overshirt; and boatswain's mates, coxswains, quarter- 
 masters, signalmen, sentries, and others whose duties keep them ex- 
 posed to the weather without sufficient exercise or work to keep them 
 warm, and liberty men, may so wear it, night or day, even when not 
 prescribed for the whole ship's company. At training stations, the 
 jersey shall be worn only as an outer garment, and only when pre- 
 scribed. The jersey shall not show below the overshirt or jumper 
 and shall never be worn without an undershirt nor be tucked inside 
 the trousers. 
 
 40. At sea and in isolated anchorages for target practice or similar 
 service, when hot weather or other conditions render it desirable, the 
 uniform of the day for enlisted men may be modified by omitting 
 the jumper, chief petty officers leaving off the coat and wearing white 
 shirts, with belts instead of suspenders for the trousers. This uni- 
 form will be indicated by signal, and particular care must then be 
 taken that none but clean uniform undershirts are worn and that 
 a neat appearance is preserved at mess. Jumpers will Jae resumed 
 at the supper hour. All cooks, mess attendants, members of the 
 guard, and persons that have occasion to enter officers' quarters shall 
 not wear this uniform, and running steamers' crews will be exempted 
 unless otherwise especially directed. A morning signal fixing the 
 uniform the same as the day before will not apply to this variation ; 
 a new signal will be required for each day. Commanding officers 
 may exempt such men from omitting the jumper or overshirt as they 
 may think advisable, lest it be a hardship to some who, being off 
 watch, for instance, have no work to perform; but in units, such as 
 boats' crews or signalmen, all must be dressed alike. 
 
 41. Shoes, neatly blacked, shall always be worn with dress and 
 undress, except that, with the latter, when the decks are wet or in hot 
 climates or in boats, shoes may be dispensed with unless the men are 
 to go ashore for any purpose. Shoes should be dispensed with when- 
 ever practicable in boats, all men in the crew being in uniform in this 
 respect ; but in steam or power boats the coxswain and engineer force 
 may wear shoes while the others are barefoot. Tan shoes may be 
 ordered for marines when in white trousers and shall be worn by 
 them when in field dress, or when leggings are prescribed. 
 
 42. The watch cap may be worn at sea by men for whom pre- 
 scribed, but not during day watches in port, except in foul or severe 
 weather, cleaning, or refitting, if so ordered or permitted by the 
 senior officer present, or coaling ship. It shall not be worn by chief 
 petty officers, officers' stewards and cooks, bandsmen, or marines.

 unless drawn from official sources. 
 
 44. Headgear shall be white by day when white is prescribed for 
 any other portion of the uniform, except when white trousers are 
 prescribed with dress uniform for the Navy, or special full dress or 
 full dress for the Marine Corps. White caps or white trousers or 
 both may be prescribed with service dress and undress uniforms, 
 white caps being always worn when white trousers are prescribed 
 with- these uniforms. . White, caps shall not be worn with the naval 
 evening dress coat or the Marine Corps blue mess jacket. 
 
 45. Overcoats may be ordered for officers or men or both when 
 appropriate. When overcoats are worn, epaulets shall be dispensed 
 with. Overcoats may be worn by officers and men, on or off duty, 
 at sea or in port, on board their own ships, when the uniform of 
 the day is service dress, unless overcoats are expressly ordered not 
 to be worn ; but when called to quarters, only the prescribed uniform 
 shall be worn. Under similar conditions, overcoats may be ordered ' 
 for a whole boat's crew, without reference to the senior officer present. 
 
 46. The overcoat prescribed for enlisted men (not chief petty 
 officers) may be worn by officers on duty on board their own ships or 
 at exercise in boats ; but not by officers of the watch while colors are 
 hoisted, except at sea or during general cleaning or coaling, nor by 
 any officers at quarters for inspection or other ceremony. Stripes 
 shall be worn on the sleeves as on the regular uniform overcoat, 
 article 93. 
 
 47. Eain clothes, with or without rubber boots, may be worn by 
 officers and men in foul weather, at sea or in port, including getting 
 Tinder way and coming to anchor, and also by whole boats' crews, 
 unless specially ordered not to be worn. When the weather is too 
 cold to go barefoot, men may wear rubber boots during wet weather 
 or while washing down the deck, but rubber boots shall not be worn 
 by the crews of steam or power boats. 
 
 48. Dungarees may be worn on board cruising vessels : 
 
 (a) By the engineer and dynamo-room force while on duty. 
 
 (h) By gunner's mates, turret captains, electricians, mechanics, 
 and men regularly detailed as helpers or strikers in turrets or in care 
 of machinery below decks, instead of white working dress, while 
 employed at work that would damage the white uniform. 
 
 (c) By the engineer crews of steamers and power boats. 
 
 Dungarees shall not be worn nor had in possession by other men.

 requirements of duty. They shall not wear them for duty above 
 decksfor which worn blue or white clothing would suffice.

 with the hat or cap prescribed for the day. They shallnot be worn 
 at mess, except by engineer and dynamo force about to go on watch 
 and engineer crews of steamers, and then only when the dungaree

 issued by the Government; and no devices for blue or white caps, 
 rating badges, distinguishing marks, apprentice marks, service stripes,

 department of the Marine Corps. The articles issued to ships 
 shall conform in every respect to the standard samples, and no 
 change shall be permitted without the sanction of the Secretary of 
 the Navy. Pay officers of ships will be supplied with a set of paper 
 patterns of sizes 3 and 5 of the overshirt, and 4, 8, and 12 of the 
 trousers, for the use of enlisted men in making clothing. 
 
 55. The clothes, arms, military outfits, and accouterments furnished 
 by the United States to any enlisted person in the Navy or Marine 
 Corps, or required by such persons as a part of their prescribed uni-

 necessary requisitions made out, and that they are careful in the 
 inspection of their divisions, their clothing, and their bedding. He 
 shall prepare a dress board on which will be indicated the uniform 
 of the crew, and place it in a conspicuous position on board. 
 
 58. Whenever recruits are received on board a receiving ship or at 
 a training station, they shall be required at once to have their hair 
 cut, bathe, and report for physical examination. Upon the comple- 
 tion of the examination, should the recruits qualify, commanding 
 officers shall have the outfit of clothing issued to each and carefully 
 marked. Commanding officers shall not allow recruits to keep on 
 board any article of clothing not authorized by regulations except 
 such underclothing in good condition as may be worn at the time of
