That’s an NCO, not an officer. Officers have dress uniforms that are blacker and do not have the red piping. Also they would have a gold and red band on the front of their cover, not a black one. Great photo though!
Thank you for the correction. It has been thirty-two years since I was “in,” as a junior NCO, and I never owned the dress blues or sword. And the Marine in the pic just had the officer look, I guess… 😉
