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

Any awards that is on your dd214 you are allowed to wear them.

By Tradition, Officers don't wear these types of badges. Some Officers believe that wearing these badges shows that you are tying to make other officers look bad. Think about the appearance of what you are doing before you do it. Officers thrive on appearance and political savvy rather than skills and competence as NCO's must do. This is not to say Officers don't have skills and competence, just that it is not seen as the most important skills for advancement. By the way, this is just my opinion and not based on any kind of research so take it with a grain of salt.

After I was commissioned I stopped wearing marksmanship badges. Probably should of received a driver's badge but the one time I was put in for it as an O (I didn't even know my 1SG put my name on the list) my battalion commander freaked out over it. As a volunteer in the MD Defense Force some Os wear marksmanship badges but very few are prior service.

This should be up to the officer. I would think the officer corps would be improved including experienced leaders in their ranks.

If it is earned what is the problem ?
That badge is not just handed out.
The RANGER and Special Forces Tabs are skill tabs and badges
If someone as a problem with, Maybe they should try earning them for themselves.

If its earned, then why wouldnt I say he shouldn’t?

Other than his previous rank, an Officer should be able to wear any awards and decorations he/she earned while enlisted. If the person had won a Silver Star he/she would wear it as an Officer.

LT, personally I think, if you earned it you should wear it. Officers wearing awards earned while enlisted show their troops that they have walked in the enlisted man's shoes. When I was in, we (the enlisted ranks) always had more respect for a butter bar with some "candy" than the ROTC grad. ROTC grads were eaten alive by the NCO's and WO's.

I was in the Corps, and we didn't hang a lot of crap on our uniforms. But if you transferred over from say the Army, you wore everything you earned there. The only thing I can think of a mustanger might wear from his enlisted days was a GCM. Again, they earned it, they continued to wear it.

I had a friend that was a Chaplain but he had been a C-130 Loadmaster before getting ordained and entering the Chaplaincy. He continued to wear his enlisted aircrew wings and had his Chaplain's cross above them. He was very proud of the time he spent as a Loadmaster and the wings help communicate to everybody else what his background was.

I know nothing about a Driver's badge (maybe the asker meant Diver's badge, maybe) but I would think that the same principle would apply.
