No, I only wear my name plate and sometimes my regimental crest. Trying to wear my ribbons and badges on the shirt (thin material) is too heavy and pulls the shirt down. I don't feel I need to impress anyone with all the bling on the class Bs that is for the As.

I humbly submit this, whether A’s or B’s, you are a walking billboard of your military service. On the class B’s, wear your ribbons if you believe you earned them and set an outstanding example of a proud heritage that might just inspire someone to want to be more than they are, it may be a bit uncomfortable but when has that ever prevented us from doing our best.

Well said SFC (P) Aaron Fore.! I am now out, but when I was at Bragg, I wore my ribbons, jump wings, aircrew badge, unit awards and regimental affiliation crest on my A's and my B's.

Agreed. My old 1SG brought me up with the mindset of, "if it's on your ERB, you need to wear it". Cost or extra time putting the unifrom together should never be the determining factor. Whether it's the ASU or ACU, it shouldn't matter.

I wore everything on my B's once and my CSM called me a ''dork.'' He was in front of his ''cronies'' at the time. But I was told that later on he thought I looked sharp either way.

Nope. That's another $30 worth of kit. Name tag. Plus on the days where I forget a white t-shirt, it reduces the number of "dammit" bites on my skinny chest.

I did everyday, working in the Command Group of a Unified Command. Always a personal choice, but being one of the only lower enlisted working there I looked at it like this. My leadership was squared away and I was lucky to have been there. Proper military manner goes along way. Before it is mentioned, the Army Element did not have a unit crest.

Yes, every time.
Now that I spent the money for thin ribbons for my shirt and jacket (not the same set) I wear them every time I wear the shirt.

I prefer not to wear my ribbons on the Class B shirt, it gets too heavy with all the bling. I wear my Chaplain Cross (as it is required), Air Assault badge, Regimental insignia, name-tag and CSIB.

When I where my "blues" I wear all authorized ribbons/badges and always wear a tie unless in a formation that requires something else (ie short sleeve blues, no tie, and name tag only).

Me personally? If I put on anything other than "cammies" (now called diggies, ABUs and ACUs etc), I wear ribbons, and because I am Air Force now, I wear the function badges that go with the uniform. I feel that when I put those uniforms on, I am dressing up and part of that is the Decs.

Sir, I do not. I would rather wear a tie all day than place ribbons that look better on the jacket.

No, never did. Just wore required name tag, rank and branch. Once in a while green tabs and regt crests.
