I'm sure there has been a lot of variety to the ceremony of donning the cord over the years. When I put my brother's on him, it was called the 'Turning Blue' ceremony, and it was a day before his OSUT graduation. They were in Class B's (short sleeve, open collar) and me, JR, my mom and sister all went into the formation and I slapped it on him. That was summer 03.

That being said, isn't most of the things we hold sooo dear to us from our military service simply myth and stories? How many people have broken a "truk" to see if it really breaks into 13 pieces to represent the 13 original colonies, really contains a .45 bullet, a single edged razor and a wooden match?
 Do you listen to yourself when you talk; or do you just fade in and out?

The cord is probably just that.......a blue cord to denote one's service in the Infantry.....no "DaVinci Code" inner-circle meaning.Good stuff.
