Ok...here we go.
you should have a brass buckle, one hook, two smaller brass "keepers" and one 2" white belt.
For starters the buckle goes on your right side. This will be obvious when You pick up Corporal, but its good to get in the habit now.
1:With the buckle face down, and slide the white belt into the bent-over tab with the hole.
2:slide one of the "keepers" down the end of the belt that just went through the hole.
3:fold the belt back over and run it back out the hole it came in.
4: repeat for the the hook side.
Its pretty easy once you get the hang of it. If this doesnt help keep asking and Ill give you more detailed instructions later.

In the USMC marines clean & shine their brass/bronze belt buckels with brasso metal cleaner. You could use that or something similar.
The belt on the USMC Service "A" uniform goes to the left. It goes through the left belt loop, around the back, through the right side, and, finally, looped throught the "buckle" section. It then buttons to the belt itself, and the removable loop slides over.
I don't see why not. I just threw mine into the wash with the rest of my white laundry. It will not hurt the belt.
What is the history of the gold waistplates for the enlisted dress blue uniforms. When did they approve the buckle and who designed it
This is for the Vietnam era, not today (military's totally different today): in the military EVERYMAN is right handed, like it or not. Swords worn on the man's left, with a Sam Brown across the chest. A leather Frog attaches the sword's scabbard to the belt.
