U.S. Navy / USCG Lieutenant Commander and USMC Major Collar Devices – meticulously crafted insignia that embody the distinguished rank and authority of commissioned officers in the O-4 grade. Priced per pair, these emblematic accessories stand as a symbol of dedication and leadership within the United States Navy (USN), Coast Guard (USCG), and Marine Corps (USMC).
Designed to perfection, each collar device features a height of 3/4" and a width of 5/8", displaying the iconic gold oak leaf that characterizes the O-4 grade. This insignia is shared by Lieutenant Commanders in the Navy and Coast Guard, as well as Majors in the Marine Corps, forming a cohesive link between these branches of the Armed Forces.
While the gold oak leaf is universally recognized across all five branches, its placement on collars signifies the unique status of Lieutenant Commanders in the Navy and Coast Guard. Despite sharing the same insignia as Marine Corps Majors, Lieutenant Commanders are classified as junior officers, distinguishing their role and command authority within the military hierarchy.
Versatility is a hallmark of these collar devices, extending beyond the collar points of uniforms. In the Navy, the Lieutenant Commander collar grade insignia finds its place exclusively on the Khaki Service uniform, enhancing the visual appeal of both Line Officers and Staff Officers. Meanwhile, Coast Guard regulations permit its wear on Winter Dress Blue uniforms and Coast Guard Band attire, offering a touch of sophistication to ceremonial occasions.
For Marine Corps Majors, the collar grade insignia becomes a distinctive feature on khaki shirts, utility coats, camouflage maternity coats, and the Service “A” uniform. The meticulous placement on these garments reflects the commitment and professionalism associated with the rank.
Embrace the tradition and honor of the O-4 grade with these U.S. Navy / USCG Lieutenant Commander and USMC Major Collar Devices. Crafted for excellence, these insignia serve as a testament to the dedication and leadership exemplified by those who proudly wear them.
