SMP Cadet wearing Blue Cord?

You can wear EITHER your military awards and decorations OR your cadet awards and decorations. They can not be combined. If you wear your blue cord, then you must wear the awards and decorations as you would if you were not a cadet. That means you can not wear any cadet ribbons or other awards. Any infantryman I know would choose to wear the blue cord with 3 ribbons rather than a hundred cadet ribbons. I'm sure this is covered in some cadet command regulation, but I don't have the reference handy. Hope this answers your question, though.

I would start with CCR 670-1. Then AR 670-1.

From my interpretation and in combination with the two referenced regulations, the answer to your question is no. Check chapter 3 of CCR 670-1.

What rank and branch insignia do you wear as an SMP member? Is it Enlisted Rank, Cadet Rank, or Officer Rank? I would venture that you are wearing Cadet Rank insignia, so the answer is probably no.

This has been going on since the Infantry cords inception, the rule of thumb is the regs. Look at your Line and paragraph number on the UMR. in addition your commander right or wrong can authorize you to wear your cord if you meet all the requirements, remember your disks go with the cord. I have seen other infantrymen that shouldn't be wearing our cord all the time doing mental gymnastics to justify it. My Primary MOS has been Infantry for a long time and I have been assigned to !!B slots but unless I met the requirements above I was not authorized to wear my cord or disk. I am not against wearing it but sometimes the inconvenient truth is the Reg say no unless we fall under the provisions. If enough Infantrymen got together and requested a change through the available system to address change, maybe it would be changed but up to the 2015 AR 670-1 its still a no go.
