Should an Officer wear a Driver's Badge that was earned while he was Enlisted?

If you earned it, wear it!!! Even Mustangers!!! Just my opinion!!! Doc Bradshaw

Bus driver's badge? If youmean the Transportation specialty ok. An enlisted man becomes an officer, (smart move). But he has qualification badges earned as an enlisted man. I wouldn't be embarrassed if it were me. But what reg says I couldn't wear it as an officer? I've seen officers with 5 level badges from different career fields. And they, some of them were former enlisted. I even served with two former Combat Controllers, who became officers wearing their senior jump wings, enlisted aircrew badges on both their fatigues and blues. Their new career field was just plain old air traffic controllers. They knew where they came from, did the same job, only they weren't jumping out of aircraft, driving around in radio equipped jeeps controlling aircraft and living in the bush any more.

They earned it.

Wear all earned awards or none says this Enlisted Officer.

It's a violation of what may, or may not, be a fading tradition, not a violation of regulation.
Is wearing them going to impede an officer's career? Extremely doubtful, but it may result in some prodding, especially at a Dining In, or other social occasion. However, you're going to get prodded about something, you may as well pick what it is.

As a retired medic and personnel officer, there is nothing in the regulation that says you CAN NOT wear any awards and decorations earned despite rank. There is; however, information in AR 670-1 that states awards and decorations earned in other branches or components can be worn but need to be stacked in the appropriate order IAW 600-8-22. The unwritten, unofficial rule of the drivers’ badge for officers is said that we don’t drive vehicles, but as previously stated, it’s unwritten and unofficial.

General of the Army Bradley was very proud of his Good Conduct metal. He always wore it on his dress uniforms!

In the Navy I saw this all the time with the Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialists (ESWS) pin many officers who were enlisted and earned this would wear it until they obtained the officer variant. In my opinion if you earned it and you maintain the requirements to wear it who can stop you from wearing it.

Yes, if he wants to.

Especially if he's Transportation or Maintenance.

It was brought up to me a number of times that if it is awarded and notedin your 201 you should be wearing it in your uniform or you would be out of uniform. I was awarded a medal by England and it was noted in my 201. I was told I must wear it
