Default Shoulder Cord ID

Not so much trying to figure out what a particular cord is, but trying to find a particular style. My former Drill Team no longer has the site where we ordered the cords from and we're trying to get some more but cannot ID the type of cord or where to find it. It looks sort of like the Army 2 strand cord
but instead of being joined at the clover leaf, it is one solid loop around like a standard cord w/o a clover leaf and the two strands are still there. The strands instead of going through the braid of the cord wrap around at the top of the cord, underneath where it would be covered by the epaulette and to create a larger or smaller gap in either strand you'd pull on part of the strand either forward or backwards at the top. Hope you understand what I'm saying, unfortunatly I don't have a picture right now but I can try and find one, but it's not likely. I hope this is in the right place, and I really do appreciate any help I can get here. If you think you have an idea, if you could just post a picture with a link so I can see if it's the right one that'd be much appreciated. And it did have the metal tip like that seperate from the strands like on the Army cord.

The Supply Room has the same things but for a cheaper price and with a bigger selection in the cords department.

I think the appropriate name for this kind of cord is called a Citation Cord.

By who's standard? For AJROTC purposes, look in CCR 145-2 and tell me where you see shoulder cords referred to as this.

That is what my SAI and AI call cords that have a metal Aguillette at the end of the cord.

I have the exact picture bud, its from Glendale. Check the 2008-2009 edition on page 9. Its at the very top left of the page, order number is #450. Its called a Double Strand Citation Cord (a bright poly cord in any one color, brass or nickle tip, button loop). This should suffice.

Yeah, I got that picture from Glendale, that's not the cord I'm looking for, but it's similar. It looks like that but instead of being straight and attached at the button it is one constant loop, and instead of being thread through like that, the two extra strands are in the loop as well and you can increase or decrease the size of each loop by pulling one tighter at the top of the loop.

Edit: Found it after searching the catalogues from supplyroom.com http://www.supplyroom.com/catalogs/2...c/Page_03.html
It is the USAF style cord in the top left. Thank you very much, everybody.
