Mess dress uniform is the semi-formal type of uniforms used by military, police, fire and other public uniformed services for certain ceremonies, receptions, and celebrations, in messes or on private occasions. It frequently consists of a mess jacket, trousers, white dress shirt, often with standing collar and bow tie, along with orders and medals insignia. Design may depend on regiment or service branch, e.g. army, navy, air force, marines, etc. In Western dress codes, mess dress uniform is a permitted supplementary alternative equivalent to the civilian black tie for evening wear or black lounge suit for day wear - sometimes collectively called half dress - although military uniforms are the same for day and evening wear. As such, mess dress uniform is considered less formal than full dress uniform, but more formal than service dress uniform.

Prior to World War II, this style of military uniform was largely restricted to the British and United States Armed Forces, although the French, German, Swedish and other navies had adopted their own versions of mess dress during the late 19th century, influenced by the British Royal Navy.

While mess dress uniform is predominantly worn at occations by commissioned officers and non-commissioned officers, it may also be worn as an optional uniform by some senior enlisted personnel. It is also sometimes worn by members of royal courts or certain civilian uniformed services.

Miniature medals are suspended on ribbons one half the width of their normal counterparts, and are worn on the left lapel. Exceptions to the miniature medals are the Medal of Honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom (although the PMF also includes an optional miniature version), and authorized foreign neck-borne decorations (e.g., Knight Commander of Order of the Bath, Commander of the Order of Military Merit, et al.) Individual and unit awards that consist of ribbons only are not worn on the mess uniform. Miniature versions of combat and special skill badges are worn above the miniature medals, along with miniature versions of Ranger and Special Forces shoulder tabs, made of enameled metal. Marksmanship and driver/mechanic badges are not worn on the mess uniform. Regimental distinctive insignia is worn on the right lapel. Identification badges worn on service uniform pockets, such as the Drill Sergeant Identification Badge, Presidential Service Badge, Recruiter Badge, Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Identification Badge, et al., are worn between the top and middle buttons on the applicable side of the mess uniform.

Good Additional Book for Law Students
Format: Paperback
My husband needed this book as one of his required course books and he loved it. He said it explained everything so well and even provided step by step examples on how to construct an MPT task. Taking the Bar Exam more than once is not worth it, spend the money it's well worth it and if you use this book you can increase your odds to score better on the writing portion of the Bar Exam.

A Starting Point for Value Based ERM
Format: Hardcover
ERM practitioners have been striving for quite some time to build programs that measure risk in a quantitative manner, and that compares that risk back to management's appetite for risk taking. Sim Segal's book provides a practical methodology for a value based ERM program. Sim Segal does an excellent job in the opening chapters laying out the argument for value-based ERM in any enterprise, not just financial services firms. He also discusses many pitfalls that often get in the way. Finally, he also discusses the greatest danger to quantifying risk... the black box highly sophisticated super model. The black box model disrupts more than it helps. Business owners are challenged to have confidence and work to manage a model that lacks simple transparency. Sim Segal devotes a great deal to this concept and illustrates a methodology that provides simple transparency to risk modeling. However, the author also takes the bold step to suggest that all risk within an enterprise can be calculated down to one single metric. This may be true, but this theory itself lacks a degree of practicality. Leaders still need a risk appetite statement and a small group of multiple measures that show the impact of their risk taking on the enterprise. Pure cash flow may not be the only measure of organizational performance for risk taking. I highly recommend this book for any ERM practitioner or executive looking to understand that the future of ERM is not just the management of downside risk. Instead, it is also the optimization of risk taking within the enterprise for the greatest performance.
