Can I wear my Airborne and Air-Assault badges while in basic training?

I would ask at reception what the local policy is. If they want absolute uniformity, they may not let you wear them during training, but will likely let you put them on for graduation. Just make sure you have a copy of your old DD214 to prove that you're entitled to wear them. Last thing you want is folks blasting you as a PX Ranger.

I would wait until graduation or until a drill asked why you weren't wearing them. You are going to attract unwanted attention. When I was in A.I.T. my senior drill knew I was going to jump school afterwards. I don't know if he tried and didn't make it or if it was because I was awarded an ARCOM for pulling a guy out of a pool and got him breathing again while on pass, but whatever the reason he singled me out and stayed on my ass constantly. Don't let these NCO's on here set you up for failure. You know where you have been and what you have earned. You don't have to impress anyone. Just be the squared away Airborne soldier that you are. Airborne All The Way.

LOL, I knew a guy who had to go back through basic, but he had a Drill Sarget Patch. Too many years out of service, plus he was a reservist. He said he wore it, on his dress uniform and one set of ACU's.
Look at it this way, Do you think your Drill Sargent doesn't already know? I would ask them what they wanted you to do, but to be honest, you are supposed to wear it. If you decide to play it safe and not wear the badges, they might just call you out for that as well.
It's safer to ask and coordinate with them, rather than do what you want, and get called out for it. You'll still be a target, but if you are willing to show you want to work with them, the better chance you will have for leniency from them.
Odds are, they will tell you to wear them.

You are allowed to wears them you just have to carry a copy of the orders or your DD214 showing that you earned them. Back in 91, I went to Ft. Bliss to reclass and there was an E-2 wearing airbourne, air-assault and a drill patch. He had earned them in the Army Reserve. He had to carry his orders with him to keep from catching hell. Basic should be a breeze for you this time. Most drills may be light on you seeing how you are prior service.

I certainly would, you earned them then wear them. Don't be surprised if they expect more out of you and or place you in some form of leadership role. After all, you showed wonderful brilliance completing both courses. I have jump wings and rigger wings, if i were re-enlisting ya damned right I would wear them.

I certainly would, Don't be surprised if they put you in some form of leadership role. You earned them, wear them.

Sure, you can. But is it the smart thing to do? If the Command doesn't direct all awards and decorations as part of the duty uniform, then don't be that guy. You'll have enough questions from Joe about why you're wearing Spec. rank. The Drills will know you're prior service. Show up with the badges on day one, get smoked. You've been there before, so you know what you're walking into.

You are NOT going back to basic, your going to basic light.

And no, don't try and show off.

Me personally, I wouldn't wear them because you might attract unwanted attention from the Cadre, Drill Sergeants and other Soldiers who might hate on you because you have something that they wish they had. Unless ordered by the Cadre or the Drill Sergeants, I would refrain from wearing them until after graduation.

My experience wearing my EIB as an E-2 when I went back in was that officers challenged me when I strolled through the PX or snack bar. I quit wearing it when I got my CIB in 'Nam.
