Whether it be from Military service college or for special units that you have served in or for just your overall Military service, did you get a ring and do you still wear it? What does it signify to you? Please share photos if available.

I do wear my Air Force ring on occasion. Not too often, though.

I have my Senior Enlisted Academy Ring. My knuckles have swollen and I can no longer wear it, would love to. This to me was a pinnacle point in my career. Still hae to get me a Navy Ring for my service.

Senior Enlisted Academy, is that the equivalent to our Sergeants Major Academy?

I believe so. It's held at Newport RI for all E8 and E9.

I bought one in Basic Training, back in 74, but I have no idea where it is. I bought a ring (not a Navy ring) in Afghanistan which I wear on weekends (I work in an industrial environment) to remember why  we were there.

I do and I wear it off and on, primarily if I'm dressed up or feeling snazzy. I don't normally wear rings because I do a lot of typing. My ring I got from USMC Boot Camp. It signifies accomplishing something that no one thought I'd be able to.
