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

AR 600-8-22 (25 JUN 2015), Para. 8-32 specifies the requirements for the Driver and Mechanic Badge. It is not rank dependent and in fact can be awarded to DA civilians and foreign military personnel. There is no requirement that once earned you have to continue to do the activities that earned you the badge in the first place. You earned it. Wear it proudly.

I left active duty in 1986. I wore all my badges and medals earned while enlisted along with those earned after I was commissioned. The only exception I can think of is there is a different badge issued for officers and enlisted for the same activity (i.e. the naval special warfare badge is gold for officers and silver for enlisted).

Sir if you were lower enlisted prior to being an officer the only ones who will EVER look down on you are officers who were never lower enlisted.

a skilled learned is a skill earned...regardless of rank

I like seeing Officers that show they were prior enlisted.

So I don't know the army regulation, but the Marines uniform manual is MCO 1020.34H. I think the army equivalent is AR 670-1 but I could be mistaken. To give a short answer, yes you can wear all your enlisted insignia and badges with the exception of any that are specific to the enlisted ranks. So for instance, I was allowed to wear my enlisted shooting badges and all awards earned, but you can't wear enlisted buckles, service stripes, etc. Check the army reg though, you guys wear all kinds of shit we don't.

And why not? I'm not familiar with the drivers badge but had a military driver's license as an EM and again as an officer. How about jump wings, ranger tabs, or SF. If they were earned during EM time shouldn't they count? Seems like someone making a mountain out of a mole hill - maybe someone with too much time on their hands.

I only wore Expert Weapons Badge as an Infantry AIT Company Commander.

A Driver’s Badge? You get a badge for driving?

He earned it, didn't he? Why wouldn't he wear it?
