The instruction, called a NAVGEN was written by an Admiral on one of his last days of work before he steps down. It sounds like a retired naval officer, in Naval Mess Kit, probably attending the admirals' retirement dinner, acted in a manner unbecoming (imagine that)
It doesn't appear that the admiral thought this one thru and fur is still flying.
The rules concerning the wearing of uniforms by those who are not in the military are directed towards those who are trying to commit some kind of fraud by doing so.
As far as former serving members attending a Mess Dinner, wearing Mess Kit which was purchased out of their own pocket.....what's the issue.
Cheers
