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 wear a Tungsten wedding band in uniform. However, if I am performing an activity where the ring could become a hazard I remove it. I wasn't married in Afghanistan but if/when I deploy again I'll wear it on FOBs but not outside the wire.
I have considered getting one of the silicone rings though...

Yes while in Garrison. No, when in field/deployed.

If I am doing hands on medical care, I tend to leave it at home. Now that I am doing mostly administrative duties, I wear it every day. Oddly, watches are almost inverse... when I am doing patient care, I have to have a watch. Now that I am doing admin, I rarely wear one...

I carry it through my dog tag chains, but do not wear them. I seem to get hit on MORE when wearing it (I guess they figure the flirting is "safe". Also, I worked in an ambulance for a number of years and routinely took it on/off and almost lost it a few times.

I'm not much for symbols like that. The ring was like $20 or so...cheap steel, but I didn't see a need to invest a ton into a hunk of metal. Would rather invest that money into the relationship.
v/r,
CPT Butler

I have been wearing mine for over 24 years, proudly. As far as choosing the type of band I wear, Household 6 chose the band.

As long as it wasn't gaudy and did not interfere with my job, for example could be removed for safety reasons. A wedding band, IMHO, should always be worn.

I wear one of the silicone rings when working or in uniform. I still wear my ring my wife gave me when we go out for dinner or special occasions. My wife appreciates the fact that I got "another", more functional, ring to show my commitment when I'm in working mode.

only would take it off if immediate duty required for safety for example working in electronics or mechanical equipment.
