Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 5,636 Posted March 22 The USPHS is one of the eight uniformed services in USA. This is Vice Admiral Adams, the Surgeon General of the US. The uniform is NAVY. I freeze framed it to get a look at the hat device. If I get curious later I will look up the ribbons. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pat Riot, SASS #13748 15,969 Posted March 22 One of 8 uniformed services but not a military service...? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Public_Health_Service But it does fall under the UCMJ if militarized under executive order. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniformed_services_of_the_United_States Weird.

Utah Bob #35998 11,438 Posted March 22 Almost a Navy uniform.one wonders why it’s the Surgeon General and not the Surgeon Admiral. I recall when a Coop was chosen A friend of mine said, “ At least they’re chose a Navy guy”. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Okiepan 109 Posted March 23 There are 7 Uniformed Services, USPHS medical staff work with the Navy , CG , IHS , etc there uniforms are mainly navy unless they are wearing the blue ODUs which are CG without the CG shield. The surgeon general is equivalent to a 3 star admiral. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 5,636 Posted March 23 I was trying to find the NOAA uniform devices. There seams to be no website (that I could find ) dedicated to NOAA. Many pictures of NOAA with USCG but not very clear. I gave up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Church Key, SASS # 33713 208 Posted March 23 I worked with a guy who was a USPHS officer during the Vietnam era. His comment: "The Yipee's motto at that time was "Better Red than Dead." Ours was "Better Pink than Inconvenienced."" I believe he worked in DC. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
