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

Don't about the army, ret navy wire all my enlisted awards was questioned by a few college officers but no problems

I will say I did not wear mine. I earned it as a E-4 but would not wear it as an officer but that was me.

Wow!!! They issue a badge for that too? Next thing you know they will have, "I did not make it to the next war badge or oh men or an immediate action badge or I forgot too wake up, its time for NCO Duty Badge or you don't want to go the war badge!!!" Let just make it up as we go.

I know the regs say different and I’ve been out for almost 40 years , but i say if you earned it, wear it. To diminish a persons accomplishments is not right. Its like its ok to disregard history because an ROTC commissioned officer didn’t get one. Same as a post i seen a few days ago where someone ordered that combat patches not be worn stateside because newbies were offended.

Funny thing about this particular badge. I actually earned this badge while deployed the the gulf. But, like most of the records from the gulf it never made it back stateside.

I wore the badge the whole time I was enlisted and it wasn't until I got my DD214 that I learned that it wasn't on there. Of course by then I was already out.

u earned it wear it proudly, airborne

Understanding military politics as I do, I would say that it would NOT be advantageous to an officer to highlight his previous status as enlisted.

An Army Officer does not wear enlisted badges. I asked when I graduated from Officer Candidate School. The reg May have changed since I Retired.

Why not? It was earned......

I received certification for truck drivers on the flight line when I was stationed in S. E. Asia back in the late ‘60s. Don’t recall receiving any badge.
