Can or should I wear my Schützenschnur cord in my DA PHOTO

Was awarded and got the orders. When I went to BN S1 to ask them to put on my ERB they looked at me like I was crazy. They said there was no code for it.

I dont think you can wear it anymore because of the new policy but it references AR 600-8-22 which is contradictory because it says as long as you have permanent wear orders your okay. Probably safe to say just take it without the foreign award. I mean the board can see your OMPF anyways.

In accordance with Title 5 United States Code, Section 7342, DoD M1348.33-Vol 3, Manual of Military Decorations and Awards and AR 600-8-22, Military Awards, Chapter 9, those awards from foreign governments may be accepted and worn only if in recognition of active combat service or for outstanding or unusually meritorious performance. Activities normally undertaken by the U.S. Armed Forces in support of an ally during peacetime are not considered sufficient to merit foreign individual or unit decorations.

Per the guidance of the DCS, G-1, only those foreign awards that appear in the appendices of the current regulation of AR 600-8-22 are authorized for acceptance, retention, and wear in accordance with the regulation. The online appendices previously posted by the Awards and Decorations Branch are no longer authorized for use. Any foreign awards not appearing in the current regulation are not authorized acceptance, retention and wear in accordance with applicable guidance.
