What is the measurement of the male name tag and which side is it on?

• A. 1/4 inch above the right breast pocket
• B. 1/4 inch above the left breast pocket
• C. 1/2 inch above the right breast pocket
• D. 1/2 inch above the left breast pocket

Answer: (A)

Uniform presentation relies on consistent placement of the name tag. For a male, the name tag goes on the right side, centered over the right breast pocket, and sits about 1/4 inch above the pocket’s top edge. This positioning keeps the tag neatly aligned with the pocket and away from other insignia that may be on the left. The left side is typically reserved for rank or unit insignia, so placing the name tag there would clash with other elements and look off. The 1/4 inch distance is small enough to remain unobtrusive while staying clearly readable; a larger gap would look disproportionate and disrupt the symmetry of the uniform.
