Flag Orders: Sea Org Uniform Series

SEA ORGANIZATION

Sea Org Uniform Series 12

YOU CAN TAKE IT WITH YOU

Campaign bars, awards and other insignia are meant to have meaning and to communicate to another, at a glance, something about the wearer. They communicate some of the wearer ' s accomplishments and history. They tell some of the places he ' s been and some of the things he's done. It could be said they are a sort of personal semaphore.

As semaphore signals, insignia are usually associated with a single body or single lifetime. This even occurs repeatedly on the track. "Remember when he was ...... (so and so) .. ? Now there was a General ! We once stormed the ...... " "Were you there too? Were you the one who ...... ?"

campaign bars, etc., are also associated with planets or systems or some kind of spatial unit or area. This too is common on the track.

A third type of association is by type of group, itself, that the insignia is part of. civilian or military, Army or Navy, Dodgers or Maple Leafs.

In the Sea Org, we have solved this third type of association by the standardization of S.O. uniforms and insignia and the establishment of the Sea Org PX to control and dispense them, but we also have to take into consideration the other types of association if we intend to keep our insignia "talking."

Additionally, we also need to establish policy for the display of insignia as we move up the track. Otherwise there will be confusions, meanings will be lost, and campaign bars will be very unwieldy as the years roll up behind us.

Therefore, know and apply the following :

1. The Sea Org uniform issues to date apply to the planet Earth. Bars and awards were earned on this planet and will be worn only on this planet. When one returns to Earth, for whatever duration, one may wear the insignia of S.O. Earth, while on Earth, no matter how long ago earned. During such Earth duty, one would not wear the insignia of a different planet or area earned elsewhere. Similarly, one would not wear Earth insignia anywhere but Earth.


2. When a Sea Org member returns to Earth with a new body, he would wear his S.O. Earth insignia as per S.O. Uniform Series 10, CAMPAIGN BARS, with the following EXCEPTIONS:



A. The bar from Group 5, GENERAL SEA ORG SERVICE Longevity, is worn blank with no stars. This indicates his years are many.

B. The bar from Group 6, MISSIONAIRE SERVICE, is worn blank with no stars. This indicates his missions are numerous.

C. The bar from Group 11 , HIGHEST EVER STAT AWARD, is worn blank with no stars.

D. From Group 13, SEA ORG CAMPAIGNS, one wears only the earliest campaign bar and the latest. Two bars only. And these are worn as the lowest row, centered beneath the above rows, as the only bars on this lowest row. This indicates one has served on Earth previously and indicates the approximate period of his service.



3. Commodores Awards of Honor may be worn throughout ones Sea Org career, any planet or area, no matter when or where earned.
