No, they do not. Officers will wear over seas service bars, but not Service Stripes as the Enlisted do.

Will Boyd no. They do wear overseas service bars though. Why?

670-1 states: Enlisted personnel wear the service stripes as members of the AA, ARNG, and USAR, when they have served honorably, as indicated below.
(1) In active Federal service as a commissioned officer, WO, or enlisted member of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard.

which begs the question: Just how many enlisted have served in active federal service as a commissioned officer or WO?

After a drawdown, a lot. I had several NCOs that retired as officers, to include my first BN SGM who retired a Colonel.
