That's an ascot. It's just a finisher for dress up. A gentleman doesn't show off his chest. He wears a tie...a closed collar... We used to wear them also as pert of our uniforms...in the '70s...

Yep, in the Army each branch had it's own color dress scarf. Your Basic Training photo was taken wearing it.

Very interesting Mark. We used to purchase ours in Ft Lewis PX when we'd go to range camp or heavy weapon range camps there. They were all there...
