If I want to be buried in uniform, should I wear SP5 (Army Rank) or SGT (earned in the Texas State Guard)?

You will be dead - no one will come around to inspect your uniform.

Eh...maybe. I inspected my father-in-law's uniform thoroughly and made spot corrections. I was respectful, of course, as he was a LTC and I was a SGT.

I can hear the comments now that's a really old Sergeant. They kept him in that long? He must know a lot. What a screw up... only made SGT and he's 90....... Bless his heart..........Get cremated it takes all the guessing and hassle out of what to wear................
