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

One of my Company Commanders still wore his Drill Sergeant badge despite being a Captain when I knew him !

If it was EARNED, then YES - it should be WORN!

If it was earned, then YES - it should be WORN!

If anyone earns a badge, medal, or citation that can be worn on a uniform then they should display that, especially if an enlisted person makes the leap to officer. It’s not about bragging, it’s about achieving.

I earned my jump wings as an E2. I wore them when I was an O1.
I believe the Navy and Coast Guard have gold (officer) and silver (enlisted) badges for surface warfare, submarines, and cutterman because some requirements are slightly different. An officer can wear his silver until he upgrades to the gold, but can't wear both at the same time.
A Navy SEAL badge, on the other hand, is the same for all.

I wore mine, my qualification badges, yep pistol and rifle, and even my good conduct ribbon.

Every time I heard Officers don't wear those, I just let them speak for themselves. I had a Col that wore his also. Enlisted, The Academy, Officer.

CPT (Join to see) referring to earned awards as ‘enlisted shit’ shows a lack of professionalism. As an officer, you should be setting an example for lower enlisted and learning from your NCOs. Drivers badge? Who cares...however...the way you speak will earn you respect far more than the trinkets on your chest.

You earned the badge. You. It's your uniform. I think you have every right to wear it.

If you rate it, wear it. Unless there is a reg. that prohibits wearing it as an officer.

Whatever you earn while serving your country should be on display in dress uniform.
