Examinar toda la cuerda haciendo brazadas de medio metro aproximadamente, con la que intentaremos conformar una circunferencia, la cuerda se tiene que disponer dulcemente sin puntos angulosos. La camisa tiene que estar en buen estado sin fibras rotas (flores). Esta operación debe ser realizada meticulosamente por una persona capacitada autorizada por el fabricante, al menos una vez al año.

IRISH PENANTS


Explanation:
When I was in ROTC this is what they called runaway threads or as the previous poster put it, frays on a uniform. Longer ones are sometimes called rappelling ropes or cables. A squared away Marine will be free of Irish pennants, particularly at an inspection.
