Question for those who serve or have served as flag bearers in the military - what is the size of the flag pole and flag that you carry/carried?
I know - weird question.
Many thanks!
I believe 6'. Never really thought about it.
Thanks! From that document I found the following -
Flagstaffs. Flagstaffs will be used at all times when displaying or carrying ceremonial or organizational flags. Flagstaffs and components authorized for use within the Marine Corps follow. (Automobile flagstaffs are to be lo- cally manufactured.)
