Should I include my current marksmanship badge on my commissioning ASU?

I’m prior enlisted Army Reserve and am commissioning Active this upcoming May. I know that officers typically don’t wear marksmanship badges so I’m wondering if I should include my current marksmanship qualification badge on my new ASU or just not bother?

1LT Private RallyPoint Member, we don't wear any badges for marksmanship or driving. Just not done.

They say officers dont wear them becuse they are leaders, not front line shooting grunts. Away to separate them. I feel like it shows that they do what we do, and more myself. I also wear my grenade qualification like a noob. I have my reasons

When I climb back in my blues to go to Marine Corps (current civil service) events, I put 'em on just to match my friends. Never did on active duty.
