It’s not typical though, at least when I was Cav 04-08. But it’s not *wrong* so do what you want. 1SG Private RallyPoint Member Wed, 21 Nov 2018 21:31:13 -0500 2018-11-21T21:31:13-05:00 Response by SrA John Monette made Nov 21 at 2018 9:31 PM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/my-first-unit-is-a-cav-unit-and-i-recently-got-my-stetson-am-i-allowed-to-wear-the-stetson-in-civilians?n=4147566&urlhash=4147566 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>buy a cowboy hat and a cav pin. put the pin on that hat.

If you would wear your highest medal to that concert, then you need to think about the heritage of that award or medal. It&#39;s still your decision.

However, you are not allowed to display rank when you do.<br /><br />They are not authorized military gear HOWEVER due to Spirit De Corps you are allowed to wear them within your squadron footprint on whatever day your unit allows it. For me in 8-1 Cav, it is allowed on fridays and any squadron event. It is also not frowned upon to wear it to the board, makes our current SGM happy.
