That will cover everything from greens, acus, whites, blues, how long side burns should be and what gloves go where and when.
The correct placement of rank for a non-commissioned officer's Army dress blues is centered on the left sleeve between the shoulder seam and the elbow. The shoulder sleeve insignia is centered on the left shoulder 1/2 inch below the top of the shoulder seam.
Yes
Yes, on the Marine Dress Blue "B" uniform.
no such thing as placement of shooting badges on dress blue "alphas." the alphas are the jacket with large medals. the dress blue "bravo" is the blues jacket worn with ribbons and badges.
for now.
The US Army is presently going to dress blues.
in 2012 they will

Army JROTC does indeed have "Dress Blues" called the Class-A Uniform. It only depends on which Brigade you are in (i.e. Your location) and what resources your Brigade has at the moment.
its known to squaddies as blues and has not changed since 1945. if you wish to see it google no1 army blues.....
Yes any member of the service may wear the dress blues.

No. If it's not actually a component of the uniform, it's not to be worn with the uniform.
do you wear unit awards on the dress blues for a military ball
The short answer: With a few exceptions, almost any award or badge that can be worn on the Army Class A "greens" may be worn on dress blues. On the Army male Dress Blue Uniform one may wear ribbons, full-sized medals, or miniature medals over the left breast pocket. However the miniature medals may only be worn with a bow tie. Special skill (such as airborne wings) and marksmanship badges are also worn on the left side above or below ribbons, though when wearing fullsize medals on dress blues drivers and mechanics badges may not be worn nor may any special skills badges or marksman ship badges be worn beneath full-size medals on the pocket flap of Army male dress blues. For the full answer see Army Regulation 670-1 for wear of uniforms Chapter 20 is male dress blue uniform and chapter 21 is for females.
