I feel like the army needs to step up its game because the marine corps and navy sabers look amazing

The Army needs to step it up in EVERY way.

@@jaredevildog6343 It hurts to agree with you but in this day and age I sure do. I wouldn't have agreed with you 15 to 20 years ago. These days all branches of service have taken a huge hit in Every way! Kinda funny how you can't say sir or manm in the Marine Corp anyone in fear of hurting some degenerate fairy's feelings so it's safe to say the entire Armed Forces of America has become a Circus at best not just the Army . Dahm I almost would give anything to go back to the days where honor ,pride, courage, and love for God and Country were the foundation of most Americans. Those were some amazing times with some amazing people. God bless the fallen and Our once great Nation !

Just to clarify for those that are potentially Wondering about the coast guard. Commissioned Officers of the US Coast Guard wear a sword identical to the US navy officer sword , the only difference being that they have USCG on the Hilt and blade instead of USN. As for USCG chief petty officers they do not officially carry a cutlass however on some occasions I have seen them unofficially do so. I should also mention a petition was made a few years back to make USCG chiefs wearing cutlasses official but no word on how that process is going yet .

I was told, and have seen. (Not sure if official or not) but warrant officers use swords/ cutlasses as part of the uniform

Also to my knowledge none of the service branches forbid chaplain officers from wearing ceremonial swords/sabers. The army has no regulations at the moment that dictate this and the navy regulations only state that chaplains cannot be prescribed to wear them by command , the implication being that it is up to the personal preference of the Chaplin as to whether they wish to spend the money on a sword or not for ceremonial wear. Great video very enjoyable!!

Sir, great video as always. However, as a Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer I must stress one point. The cutlass is not authorized for Petty Officers 3rd, 2nd or 1st Class (E-4 to E-6). It is only authorized for Chief Petty Officers, Senior Chief Petty Officers and Master Chief Petty Officers (E-7 to E-9). It is called the CPO Cutlass for this reason and is only used by CPO's. There is one other instance where a cutlass is used (slightly different design) which is at Navy Boot Camp(Recruit Training Command) The Recruit Chief Petty Officer (RCPO or RPOC) who is a recruit given a leadership position during basic training, is issued and carries a cutlass during training as a symbol of their leadership position. I love your outstanding videos. Please keep them coming. If you ever have any questions on Navy stuff for future videos I am happy to assist if needed.

There is no way that 'revolutionary era" hanger is from that time. While that era is much closer to a time when infantry soldiers to carried such sidearms, hangers fell out of use in almost all regiments of the british army, with the exception of artillery, because they still needed them as tools. As far as im away, the continental army never adopted hangers for infantry and wouldn't be able to afford to outfit soldiers with them even if they did. Also the hilt is also much more reminiscent of post Napoleonic swords in general. I strongly suspect it is from later than the eagleshead sabre. That style with the "hatchet point" as commonly called by modern collectors, is certainly something to heavily to come into fashion around 1800

The military really shouldn’t have practically abandoned swords. The standard dress uniform should always a sword as part of standard regulations. Dress uniform. The Army, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, and Space Force. All need a proper NCO sword and officer sword that should be considered standard as part of the regular dress uniform.

Generally you purchase them yourself or on some occasions they are gifted to you upon promotion to a rank that qualifies you to wear one of these swords or sabers on your full dress uniform. So yes you get to keep them
