According to AR 670-1, uniforms and insignia, on that all weather coat the rank insignia must be the NON subdued metal type pins only and worn on the collar of the jacket. Only Commissioned and Warrant Officers will wear that rank insignia on the shoulders and then the metal not Subdued. That jacket can be worn with civilian attire but the rank insignia must be removed in that event.

The entire Army Regulation is available online for reading and reproduction if You need it for that purpose.

It's time to memorize AR 670-1, or whatever the digital equivalent is now a days. It's your job to be squared away and correct "all" others now. Go get em.

STA-Brite pin-on rank, not shoulder boards. Shoulder boards are worn by NCOs only when wearing Dress Blues White Shirt. I have been out for close to 4 years now.

Yes you wear shoulder marks on the black all weather coat. Disregard the responses from people who are saying you wear non-subdued pin on rank, things change. CPL and above wear shoulder marks on....... Although I retired 4 years ago, I still no how to look shit up. DA Pam 670-1 May 2017- Shoulder marks, look it up

This picture I took while I was a cadet At Bordentown Military Institute, Bordentown, NJ back in the early 1960s of our Commandant of Cadets, Colonel John S. Roosma. Notice the older style Army overcoat of that time period. Colonel Roosma was a graduate of USMA, West Point.
