Maybe if you told someone convincingly that you were involved in the Ft. Hood shooting someone may believe you.

I would probably question it if I saw it but I wouldn't make a big deal about it. Wearing your combat patch is your choice and not having it on is not wrong. Some people get offended by that and I personally feel that if you've earned the combat patch then you should proudly wear it. Don't let it get to you too much and I'm sure someone is making a suggestion to make it mandatory to wear one if you've earned it but until then it's completely your choice.

Army Regulation 670-1 states: 10. SOLDIERS AUTHORIZED TO WEAR MORE THAN ONE SSI-FWTS MAY CHOOSE WHICH SSI-FWTS
THEY WEAR. SOLDIERS MAY ALSO ELECT NOT TO WEAR THE SSI-FWTS. As it says in the regulation; 'May' and not 'Must.' I wore my CMB while in service, but at times didn't wore my combat patch because of the same based on this regulation.

AR 670-1 Is not the only guidance on the wear and appearance of the military uniform. Your Battalion Commander also has limited authority on deciding this.

This discussion falls into some commander's love/hate "policy" that all soldiers (O & E) under his/her charge must wear that particular unit's combat patch if the soldier actually qualifies for it. It's certainly not regulation and not really policy letter material; however, the CDRs firepower comes with the "loyalty to unit" premise. I can't say whether I agree, but I must support any CDRs effort to build his unit's esprit de corps. This goes back to your (Wallace) debate in a matter that the CDR can add to but not take away from most regs-his enlisted will initially enforce.
Great discussion, support the command!

It wasn't really an ass chewing he simply said that there was a regulation and I told him there wasn't then he said to re check ar 670-1.

Wearing one without the other your choice. I was in when subdued patches came out for RVN service and started spreading everywhere. My BN CO. A Ltc (tank and branch were worn on collar points then) wore branch subdued and rank as colored( silver leaf) regs didn’t specify only subdued or colored. If regs don’t specify you get to chose. If they don’t say you can’t do something you can do it at least once
