In the U.S., people not in the Army are not soldiers, especially so for Marines â who will strongly protest being painted with that brush. âTroopsâ or âservice membersâ are the umbrella terms that refer to all the members of the military.
As a general rule for all tie knots, the widest part of your tie should hang roughly at the same height as the upper edge of your leather belt, with the tieâs tip extending slightly below it. The tip of the narrow end would then hang wherever it may.
Place the tie around your neck. The wide end of the tie should be on your right side. Make sure that the wide end is hanging slightly lower than the narrow end, about 2 inches (5.1 cm). Make a small dimple on the wide end at the central line. http://pad2.whstatic.com/images/thumb/d/db/Tie-an-Eldredge-Knot-Step-1-preview-Version-2 ....
