Wedding Rings, do you wear one in uniform?

TSgt Joshua Copeland. Yes . . . Tends to ward off unwanted attention . . . unless the attention comes from total cad . . . even though my husband was KIA many years ago . . . gold . . . solid inner ring . . . deeply engraved outer ring . . . traditional Hebrew expression . . . I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine . . . I leave it behind only when medically necessary . . . or traveling in hazardous environments . . . Warmest Regards, Sandy

The very first injury I ever took care of as a baby Medic was a degloving, kid had jumped off the back of a five-ton and caught his ring just right. He was lucky and didn't lose his finger but, that image has stayed with me my entire career.
It was a huge bone of contention when I was married because I would only wear my rings when I wasn't seeing patients (doing exercise demos, joint mobs and scar releases with rings on HURTS) off mission and out of uniform. I rarely even wear a watch these days.

I rarely do. Aviation made it a no no. We had to remove our dog tags and rings anytime we worked on aircraft. After my Iraq mishap I have bad damage to my ulnar nerves and my pinkies and ring fingers are almost always buzzing. When I wear a ring it almost has a burning sensation (I know this sets myself up for soooo many jokes). Hitomi cuts me slack.

No. When I first was married we exchanged silver (white gold) and gold rings. We PCSed to Hawaii a few days after the ceremony and began a very active outdoor life; we did a lot of swimming as well as other outdoor activity. About 4 months after our arrival, I had lost about 10 lbs. and we were at Bellows Beach swimming. My wedding ring slipped off in the water and was gone in seconds to never re emerge from the ocean.

Of course I did get a replacement; since I had lost weight, we got the new ring in my smaller size. I wore it on my finger until our ships began coming out of the yards and we moved back on USS Rathburne (FF-1057). My practice and any smart Sailor's safety practice is to NEVER wear any rings on a ship. I put my ring on my dog tags and wore it that way for the rest of my sea tour.

Did I mention I got the ring in the smaller size for my new slender weight? Of course that did not last when we got underway. So I was going to have the ring resized, but that would have destroyed the design. Instead I decided to lose the weight. Well the ring is in my Jewelry box, I still have not last the weight. Stop laughing!

The only thing I wear is my Greek Cross around my neck and my Diabetes Dog Tag. No rings at all - looking for any, I have quite a few you might want. When I was on ACDU my Dog Tags were on rubber covered chains - I was an Electronics Tech. Fried Squid belongs on a plate not in the Radio Shack.

MSgt Joshua Copeland, I never wore a wedding ring in an always hazardous military environment! Now that I am retired, I always wear a wedding ring. After losing 2 wives and having a lady friend at this stage of my life, I enjoy wearing a wedding ring.

I don't wear one while in uniform. First, I am in a mechanized infantry unit. We are around our bradleys a bit. I never wear a ring when around equipment that can crush. Really, when you are around others in your unit they should know you are married.

Next, I don't want to advertise it while I am deployed. I don't want a soldier from another country to google my name and find anything about my personal life. I don't even want them to know I am married. If you leave that blank on facebook and wear a ring in your pictures or around you are defeating the purpose.

Next, I lose them. I lost one while diving in Hawaii once. I lost one in Iraq. Now I just put it on the chain I keep on my ID tags in my back pocket.

Yes, I wear mine literally all the time. I got it in Guatemala while I was there years ago, and it's made of silver and spotted white jade, both of of which are native to the mountains in that area.

I wear mine proudly! Mine is tungsten and pretty much scratch resistant.

My ex loaded bombs on F111 and was told not to wear his ring on his finger while on duty. I have a friend that is an electrician and recently got a bad burn on his hand from a wire touching his ring. He doesn't wear one at work any more. I never had problems on duty wearing mine but it's not very comfortable while wearing a Chem warfare suit for hours during mobility drill.

I still wear my wedding ring after being widowed 19 months, I'm not quite ready to take it off.

I am not married but I do have a ring that was my sisters before she died and I do wear that. I have to take it off to work on equipment but aside from that I wear it.
