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

Absolutely, just be ready for a little "extra" attention

Make sure your DD 214 and 201 file support your authorized wearing of these earned badges.

It's simple, you earn it, you wear it. As long as your records show it, show it.

Why would you need to go back to boot camp again? Unless of course you are joining the Marines ? Ask you’re recuriter

After 16 years out of service I came back in the ANG in Bakersfield, Ca. My primary MOS was 11F40 and I had 11H and 11D. I did not have an 11B MOS.
I wore my CIB, Combat Crew Wings...... and on my right shoulder was K Company 75th Infantry Reg scroll over 4 lost Lts.
I had to attend a 2 week 11B course at Ft Ord. I never did fully understand why?? Top cadre was a Tabbed SFC who had also served with another 75th Reg company in Nam.
I was 40 and way out of shape. (unless you consider round a shape:) I sucked it up and kept-up. I would have been ashamed to whine or puss out.
I wore all my patches.
I had a great time. Like basic, AIT, pre-recondo school ....etc. I would not give a penny to do it again nor a million $ to forget.
Wear your badges and be proud. Either keep up or lead.
Also heads up:
The Honorable and well earned abbreviations by those who earned them. WAC, WAV and Donut Dolly are no longer honored and a counseling statement is now a piece of paper.

Wear them if you want. I'm sure the Drill Instructors will already know your prior service record already so they will either give you shit from the start or won't but for sure they will expect a hell of a lot more out of you compared to the rest of the recruits. As far as for sure being allowed? Your recruiter should know the answer to that.

Not sure but I believe you’ll have to wait till you get to your permanent duty station, but you may want to ask your recruiter or someone with knowledge in this situation

Well let me try this out....would you walk around without your E-4 rank on at Basic Training? NO...So the Air Assault and Airborne badges should be fixed to your uniform regardless of any EGO charged DS. He may just be mad that he doesn't have said Qualifications would be my guess. You're badges are part of your uniform in every capacity. If you don't wear them you could be written up(not likely, i wouldn't think) for being out of uniform.

Wear them. You may get some harassment from some Drills but eventually you'll have a chance to graduate number 1 in your class. I joined in 81. Went to Benning Harmony Church. We had a couple of Vietnam Vets in my class. I'll always remember this one guy who was a door gunner in Vietnam. Our first dress greens inspection the guy had more chest lettice than the 1SG.

I'd wear them, but with the understanding that you'll be bombarded with questions from the new recruits. If basic is anything like mine was back 50 years ago your too busy to worry about that stuff anyway. You earned them!! Wear them proudly.
