Don't know when started Navy high year tenure .  Forgive my ignorance, but if they are wearing gold service stripes it means they have never been the subject of disciplinary action. So, the guys wearing red service stripes HAVE been the subject of disciplinary action at some point in their career? A guy goes 20 years without discipline and wears gold service stripes. Year 21 he screws up and gets ganked so from then on all his service stripes are red?  Just trying to understand. While I'm at it, at what level of discipline does the change take effect? A "bad boy" letter in his file or time spent in the brig?  Angus
