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

Wear them with pride

You are going to be far more trained than any new recruite, therefore a low profile is unlikely. Wear them proudly but make sure they are sewn correctly and by regulations, or you are asking for trouble...

Wear them.

they are approved under 670-1 they can be worn because A you're qualified B as long as they are on your ERB you can wear them. They'll prob smoke you left and right but hey rewards always come with consequences

You earned it, You wear them, I'm sure the D.I.'s will know any way. If you want to ask the D.I.'s first, you could, you might get targeted, but hey, Your Airborne/Air-Assault, you can take it.

Going back to basic training as an E4? I didn't realize that was a thing, but I only speak chair force language.

Definitely wear them. You earned them. If others are jealous and give you grief, that is on them.

While not as cool as your badges, I wore my Navigator wings at Pilot training. Current aeronautical badges are mandatory in the Air Force but I would have if I had the choice anyway. After pilot training when they became optional I still wore them. Got some crap for it (double wings is allowed but used to be a cultural no-no). Spent 18 months of flight training to earn them and nearly 7 years in that job. No reason to hide that achievement and no reason to hide yours.

Just stay humble about it and you'll be fine. Good luck!

First, welcome back, trooper! Second, while you most certainly should be allowed to wear them upon graduation and during ASU/Pinks inspections, the day-to-day uniform is meant to be sanitized (No Combat patches, Ranger, SF tabs, (This was also the standard at OCS)) However, you might want to ask your recruiter prior to shipping out. Should you choose to wear them, you will certainly be the center of much-unwanted attention from the Drill Sargeants... You know the game, be smart about it, and let the ego take a back seat! Best of luck to you!

Years out??? don't those badges require recertification every so often.. just asking nit trying to stirr stuff up

You won't be able to keep a low profile, so wear them proudly, and properly, and be an example to the new recruits.

NO do it the easy way !! the drill people will know--it's gonna be tough enough as you will be the chosen one for harassment
