So I’ve finished processing into my unit 2/508 and I’m wondering how I should be wearing my ASU now. I know I could just ask my leaders but that’s why I love rally point. So I can ask the community and not look like a bozo lol
I have to put my wings on the uniform. Should I be getting jump boots? That seems like the right call.. is the 82nd division insignia on the right below the breast pocket only for those that have deployed? 2/508 has a bunch of unit awards as well. I’m to understand those are authorized for temporary wear if you’re in the unit but did not participate in what got the award. However I don’t wanna be the only one not wearing them if/when we do wear our asu.
Thanks guys and gals!

SGT (Join to see) asking your direct leader does not make you look like a "bozo", it shows that you care about the appearance of your uniform.
Airborne qualified? Wear your wings. On jump status? You should be able to buy jump boots. If you have not deployed, don't buy the 82nd insignia. You are correct about the unit awards being temporary and you can wear them now that you're in the unit. As a PFC, they should be available from supply and you don't need to buy them, but go for it if they're not.
Best of luck....and don't neglect to go to your leadership for questions like this in the future, that's literally what they are there for.

DA Pam 670-1 will answer 75% of these questions. AR 670-1 will answer 15%. Division blue book will answer 9%. That last 1% you will have to ask tour leaders.
Even when I was setting up my uniform for retirement ceremony - having set up uniforms for over 20 years - I still had both the 670-1s open and went step by step. Seriously, use them and you can't go wrong.

I don't know how the Army works but in the Air Force, for any uniform questions the 1st Sgt. was the person to see. Also if you needed anything, a lot of the time they would give it to you if they had it. Also it never hurts to be on the 1st Sgt's. good side...
