<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I stopped wearing my marksmanship and other qualification badges since I became a Warrant. I heard the same "customary" things you did, and it doesn't bother me at all.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My thoughts are 1. did you earn it? 2. Is it authorized by regulation? If the answer to both is yes, and you wish to wear it, you should. O-grades telling us we shouldn&#39;t because it&#39;s customary not to need to articulate why or go away.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I was told not to as well. My fellow Warrants explained, "As officers, we are expected to be experts. The second that soldiers see that you're not, it's hard to build back up."

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>As a prior Marine, I continued the tradition of the Corps, that every Marine (including the Commandant) was primarily a rifleman, qualified annually, and wore his qualification badge.<br />I admit I did not have a problem of &quot;losing face&quot; with the troops because I did not fire Expert. I wore my EIC badges for rifle and pistol.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>In today's Army, and with all of the shooting going on, I should think we might want to know who can hit their target on a good or bad day. For a Warrant or any Officer to now wear a marksmanship badge seems suspicious to me. If you don't want to wear it, who cares, don't wear it.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Personal preference...if it isn't found in the regs where it says NOT to do so, then do it. However, I think you should probably consider whether or not you have requalified with the designated weapon on the badge. This may be another one of those "gray areas" but something in my gut tells me that if you haven't requalified that your initial qualification badge may not be valid. Just a thought.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I didn&#39;t wear mine. Was told officers don&#39;t. The &quot;in between&quot; status of WOs is no more. But man, I really wanted to wear my USMC Sharpshooters badge! Preferred over the Expert badge.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>This is an interesting subject. I graduated from drill sergeant school a long, long time ago with a fellow staff sergeant who eventually earned a commission. After he showed up with his new bars, I noticed that he no longer had his drill sergeant patch on his BDU&#39;s. I asked him why, and he said he couldn&#39;t wear it because it was &quot;an enlisted award.&quot; One day, a battalion sergeant major asked him the same question and got the same response. This time, however, the CSM quoted him the AR that specifically allowed officers to continue wearing the drill sergeant ID. So the new lieutenant&#39;s answer was switched to &quot;Well, it&#39;s just not customary.&quot; Go figure.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Sounds eerily familiar to AF leadership telling prior enlisted officers they shouldn&#39;t wear their ribbons on short or long sleeve blue shirts. It&#39;s not prohibited by our AFI 36-2903 and we earned them... I wore mine anyway just to push their buttons.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>AR 670-1 and DA Pam 670-1 make no distinction about wear of such badges EXCEPT for wear of the German Marksmanship Award (Schuetzenschnur) is authorized for wear only by enlisted personnel. Officers may accept, but may not wear, the Schuetzenschnur.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Those badges I guess will always be a part of your service record since they were awarded to you before you became a Warrant Officer, I met an Air Force NCO wearing a CIB and and Parachutist badge in his Air Force uniform, he enlisted in the Air Force after leaving the Army and he is entitled to wear them. I guess it&#39;s optional for you to wear them.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>No one has addressed the Driver&#39;s Badge specifically. Reasons of &quot;everyone should be an expert&quot; don&#39;t apply. Now, it&#39;s not particularly a high speed badge by any means, but it is earned. What is the opinion on Officers wearing it if he or she earned it while enlisted? It falls in the same category as the qualification badge in the regs.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Chief, you earned it, you wear it. The hell with the O grades, the enlisted personnel (and the Os should) look at you as a technical expert in your career field. In part, your technical expertise is earned through the blood and toil of being an enlisted soldier. Your dress uniform should be a road map of your career.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You are a warrant officer. A CHIEF warrant officer. As a member of the guild, if you want to wear them, it&#39;s right. Who in their right mind** tells a warrant he&#39;s wrong about anything? Commissioned officers usually don&#39;t wear them, but they aren&#39;t warrants. I made post about that in another thread on this subject. You can wear them. It&#39;s not illegal, and in the case of a warrant, I would even encourage it. But yeah, officers of all persuasions customarily eschew the practice.<br /><br />**Usually assumed to be O-6 and above, regardless of actual observed behavior.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Badges are very similar to evaluation reports. What isn’t there says as much as what is there. <br />If see someone without a marksmanship badge, I’m going to assume that the Soldier didn’t fire expert. Everyone is proud of the expert marksmanship badge. Few people where anything less with pride. <br />So to hide the fact that they aren’t an expert on the assigned weapon, a “custom” was created.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Never wore mine, and don&#39;t remember seeing any of the &quot;corps&quot; wear them. Didn&#39;t really think it was appropriate. In our company, I was the Motor Officer, and had a policy of NO officer will drive themselves. They&#39;ve enough to keep them occupied on any road trip, without having to worry about keeping their equipment on the trail or road. Even a three star general agreed with that policy when it was brought up to him, (unofficially,) when he visited our unit in the field, by a first lieutenant.<br />As far as the marksman badge, why do you want to &quot;compete&quot; with your troops? They deserve the right to the badges and or accouterments they have earned, without some warrant trying to show them up.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I mean no disrespect, but who would wear a ‘drivers badge’ regardless of rank? I know that if you wore a drivers badge in any of the Infantry units I served with during my twenty year career, (79-99) the company would laugh you out of formation. Right, wrong, or indifferent, that was the culture. Yes, some wore them, but they were the exception... I was awarded one on Recruiting Duty, but never wore it... Again, not knocking those who take pride in wearing their Driver’s Badge, simply sharing my experience. The Marksmanship badge is a different story. However, just because you qualified expert in 2001, doesn’t mean you’re still authorized to wear a Expert Marksmanship badge the rest of your career, even though you barely qualified last time, no? I know this is a different topic, but I use to see it all the time. Guys wearing Expert, but barely qualified during the last Weapons Qualification range. As for officers wearing their prior service badges, if you earned them as an enlisted man, you’re authorized to wear them, regardless if you are now a officer. Having said that, some organizations (Field Grades) didn’t particularly like it, but I believe it was more of a professional jealousy issue, than a regulatory one...

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Follow the regulations. Any Commissioned or Warrant Officer that cannot show his soldiers that they have areas in which they can improve upon (i.e. marksmanship and other badges), has little leadership capability. The &quot;Unwritten Rules&quot; do not exist and it is a cop out in enforcing the regulations. Wear your badges as you earned them. If they are not &quot;Expert&quot;, you have improvements to be made. It shows your soldiers that you have capability to improve and they will help you succeed.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>As far as the marksmanship badges are concerned, it was explained to me during OCS that those qualifications were a given as far as Commissioned and Warrant Officers were concerned. Being an E5 before getting OCS orders, I wore those badges up until I reported. And never again. I did however, continue to wear my GC ribbon. As an ARNG retiree, I wear my uniform for Memorial Day and Veterans day only, or for the occasional Military Ball. And the GC is often a discussion point.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I was told by my LTC if you wear one ribbon you wear all the rest.<br />He had a marksman badge, and China service ribbon.<br />We were going to a function in Saigon back in 71. I was a new SP4 and for officers the uniform was khaki.<br />He had been enlisted prior to WWII and served in every conflict and was ready to retire. He received a ARCOM that day it was his second. He put it next to his letter of commendation signed by Patton.<br />We drove back to Long Binh after.<br />Medals were few for support people.<br />His statement you wear one you wear all of nothing. I noticed several other officers wore their weapons badges slso.<br />Sometime in the seventies in peace time I noticed officers stopped wearing them
