Question about Garrison Cover Rank Device

[Mitter2k1]

I have a set of 1st Lt. alpha's that I got a couple of months back and it was missing the cover. So I went the cheapest route and bought a garrison cap and an officers cap device. I only recently realized that it needed a rank device. So here is my question, what size is the rank device for the garrison cover? Is it shirt sized or coat sized or something completely different? Also, where is the device supposed to be placed? I can't find anything that shows the measurements for this. I guess I'm not googling it hard enough.

Thanks,

Mike

Here's the info - it's the same size rank worn on the collar:

BINGO! I looked all over for that and I guess I wasn't doing it correctly or completely over looked it.

I have several charts that were handed out to Marine officers during training and even they did not show this. I finally dug out a small pocket-sized book on uniform wear and insignia placement.

That is odd they didn't include that on the charts. Can I ask where I can get a copy of that book you have? I think it would prove to be very handy.

Thanks again,
