All, if you are married, do you wear your wedding ring in uniform? If you do, what kind and what are your thoughts on why you chose that type.

I took mine off the day after my wife and I were married. I don't wear any jewelry, even a watch. I will wear my wedding ring on special occasions with my wife e.g., anniversary dinners, balls, etc.

The only time that I took my ring off while in the service was during Airborne School. But, even then, I still just put it on my Dog Tag chain. I feel naked without it and I don't take it off.

I wasn't married during my service time but if I had been I would have worn it. However, depending on the environment it can be a hazard. I saw a guy during a charlie working party in the hangar bay lose his finger to a chain hoist that caught his wedding band. It lifted him up by his ring until it parted from his hand with finger attached.

I would probably buy one of those silicone ones they have now if I worked outside of an office.

I've been retired for 14 years, but I wore my ring on active duty whenever it wasn't a safety issue when wearing it.

I really like my Qalo, silicone ring and I keep my tungsten one on my dog tags while I am deployed.

I only wore my ring when I was in Dress uniform, and when in ACU's, I put it on a chain next to my dog tags

When I first got married, I was broke so I have a really thin wedding ring that I wear daily (except at the gym and when working around the house), even though I have broken it a couple of times.

I do have a thicker ring I wear when at drill, it won't break like the original but it will never be the original.

I wore my ring every now and then as a newly married man. I used to work as a mechanic at a dealership so had to take my ring off for work (really easy to lose a finger that way). After a few months, I lost my ring. Got another one, but I have never worn it and never will. I don't like jewelry, except watches. My wife knows this and she has no other choice since I refuse to wear my ring, it feels really uncomfortable.

I do not. I probably wear a few times a year at most, only for formal occasions where I appear with the wife. I don't like the feel of a ring on my hand. Same reason I don't wear a watch.
