ACTIVE/RETIRED ARMY Proper Wear of Identification Badges

SGM Matthew Quick — Mon, 09 Nov 2015 00:10:20 -0500

Check yourself and your Soldiers...I check records nearly everyday and I STILL see the improper wear of the most basic of items.

SPREAD THE WORD! This is EASY-TO-UNDERSTAND guidance.

Note: If you don't want to 'Vote Up' to make this 'Trending', at least steal the picture and spread it throughout the internet...extend your influence beyond your chain of command.

Easy tool for leaders to use to check their Soldiers before boards, competitions and photos. Thanks for sharing.

TY SGM - I had never seen the Retired Service Badge in 22-79. Makes sense compared to the old color Class-A right sleeve.

Thanks for the visual reference to bounce off the regulation. I wasn't aware of the Instructor badge or the Retired.

When in doubt always refer to AR 670-1 an DA Pam 670-1. Nothing embarrasses you more that finding a "reference" that is incorrect. Just saying. I enjoy these types of references; however, I always refer back to the publications if something new shows that I have not seen before. This way, when the Sergeants Major asks, I can enlighten them with more information about it. I know publications are boring and difficult a times but knowledge i power. Thanks fo posting the reference and thanks for reading.

SGM Quick,
FYI, when I copied the picture it cuts off parts of the picture. Thank you for posting this.

I've been in for 27 years, and I still reference 670-1 when I'm putting my ASU together. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him think.

What is cool about this is AR 670-1 has examples with pictures. (So easy a caveman can do it)

How bout we crack down on the wear of USMC combat patches throughout the Army? Lot more of those than ASU badge issues.
