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.

Durable, Full iPad protection, Good quality for the price, variety of colors
Color: Navy Blue, Size: Case for iPad (A16) 11th/10th Generation 11/10.9''
I am very happy with this SEYMAC case. The build quality is excellent—solid, rugged, and clearly designed to protect the iPad. The full body coverage with the built in screen protector gives me a lot of peace of mind, especially since this iPad gets used by my daughter for her art projects and she takes it everywhere. The 360° rotating hand strap and stand are surprisingly useful. The rotation is smooth, the strap feels secure, and the stand locks into angles that actually work well for drawing or watching videos. The added shoulder strap is a great touch too—it makes carrying the iPad hands free incredibly convenient. The strap doesn’t get used as much because it is typically in a bag or in her hand as she creates. The fit is perfect for the 10th gen iPad, and all the ports, buttons, and cameras line up exactly as they should. The Navy Blue color looks clean and professional without being boring. The added stylus holder is a plus as well. Overall, this case delivers outstanding protection and functionality. Its durable, designed well, and absolutely worth the price. I Highly recommended for anyone who wants serious protection without sacrificing usability. It also comes in a variety of colors so you can fit your personal style preferences.

Great Case, Just Minor Issues
Color: Black, Size: Case for iPad (A16) 11th/10th Generation 11/10.9''
This case is an overall good case, in the sense that it does a good job protecting the tablet. It covers the entire screen with a plastic screen, which I personally like and don’t mind. It also had a kick stand and sting to hang it, which is a must for kids. My kid has not broken his tablet since getting this case, BUT he did not last very long with it on. The plastic screen protector and the front piece, made it super difficult for him to pull down his control center from the top right corner. This annoyed him so much that he ended up taking the whole case off and eventually losing it. If they could make the plastic sheet more fitted to the screen so that the issue is fixed I would give 5 stars.
