I recently transferred from the army to the Air Force. When I was in the army I had my airborne and air assault wings. Does anyone know if I can wear them on my Air Force OCP Uniform? Or where I can find the regulation? I have searched but nothing gave me definite answers. Thanks

For those that are looking at wearing Army badges on the Air Force uniform, max four allowed, 3 on the left side and one on the right side. On the left side, max three, two above the Air Force tape and one on the pocket, the fourth is above your name tape. Currently, there is no order of precedence unless you have special badges (missle, etc) that are to be worn above all other badges above the Air Force tape. Regular Army badges with AF non-specific badges have no order of precedence until AFI makes an update or your unit adds to the AFI (They can add, cannot take away, so base, commander may add an order of precedence). I wear my EIB and Air Assault just as in the Army, EIB over the Air Assault wings but when I go to school and get my skill level three, I will wear EIB, Skill level three and Air Assault wings on my pocket.

I agree with the earlier comments. The AFI does cover it, and they can be worn, but now as sister service badges, they should be in black. Be ready for people who haven't really read the regs to question or correct that they should be spice brown. We have several airmen who have been bothered by passing senior AF personnel making corrections when the airman was right in the first place.

SSgt (Join to see) I believe you are, sir. There is a Capt. in my unit who wears his halo & Jump wings on his OCPs, he was prior SOWT, though. There is another gentleman on base, that is still in his ABUs, that has Jump, Air Assault, & one other badge.
According to AFPC's website:
"Airmen may wear other services' qualification badges, if earned and awarded, i.e.: Ranger tab, SERE, etc. Award criteria for other services’ qualification badges will be in accordance with the awarding service’s directives."
