•Visor Ornamentation ("Scrambled Eggs"): A defining feature for field-grade officers (O-4 and above) was the ornamentation on the visor. While the most elaborate "scrambled eggs" (gold bullion embroidery of oak leaves and acorns) was often associated with General Officers, a simpler version or sometimes simply a high-quality leather/material visor was used by field officers, depending on specific regulations and uniform variations of the time. However, in some branches and eras, the "scrambled eggs" specifically indicated field-grade or general officer status.
