As a former admiral's aide, I found this section entertaining:

N.  AIGUILLETTES.  AT COMMANDERS' DISCRETION, AIGUILLETTES ARE AUTHORIZED FOR WEAR WITH 
NWU TYPE I SHIRT AND PARKA BY PERSONNEL ASSIGNED TO BILLETS IN WHICH AIGUILLETTES ARE A 
PRESCRIBED UNIFORM ITEM.  PUNCTURING OF THE OUTER SHELL OF THE PARKA WILL RESULT IN COMPROMISING MANUFACTURER'S 
WATER PROOF GUARANTEE OF THE PARKA AND RESULT IN VOIDING THE MANUFACTURER LIFE TIME 
WARRANTY.  PARKAS THAT ARE PUNCTURED OR TORN WILL BE REPAIRED AND REPLACED AT THE 
SAILOR'S EXPENSE.
