Howdy,
I am a Navy officer and have a family member who will be graduating from West Point in May. I believe we will be attending the parade the day before graduation and the graduation ceremony itself. According to the USMA website, the parade is listed as "casual" with ASU B's as the recommended uniform, while the graduation ceremony is listed as "informal" with ASU A's as the uniform. From a quick search, I think ASU B's are equivalant to the Navy Service Khaki and ASU A's are equivalent to Navy Service Dress Blue although I found some conflicting information.
Long story short, what are the appropriate Navy uniforms for these events? Should I even wear a uniform? Thanks in advance for the help.
