Title: Does anyone recognise this uniform?

It appears to be a USAF enlisted man (it's actually from a thread about mess dress for a wedding), but if so, he is wearing an officer's coat, a blue aiguilette (which I associate with a Training Manager) and shoulder marks I cannot make out.

He says he's in the USAFA. Photo is dated 2008, but seems to have popped up on a number of wedding boards and Pinterest.

Have they moved from shoulder board to sleeves?

That makes sense. MTMs have to be at least SrA, which he's not. No regular Air Force enlisted wears slides on the epaulets of the service dress coat either.

Yip... nothing sinister going on.... unless he's posing as a Prep school cadet. :)  You would have to have serious self esteem issues to be a prep school poser!  :) (just  a joke... don't anybody get all uppity on me!)

If you Google Air force Academy Prep School, there's plenty more photos, including many with metal grade pinned
onto the epaulet sleeve.

Af.mil seems to be flakey today so a lot of links and images are either slowly loading or 404-ing.
