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.

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”. :lol:

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.

I was trying to find the NOAA uniform devices. There seams to be no website (that I could find :ph34r:) dedicated to NOAA. Many pictures of NOAA with USCG but not very clear. I gave up.

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.
