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 bought a cheap titanium one prior to going to BMT and again to OTS. Saves me the heartache of potentially losing it while in training. I typically wear this bare bones ring instead of my normal wedding ring while in training. My husband, when working in aviation or maintenance, does not wear his.

I have a metal ring that I wear on a daily basis and while in Garrison. When I deploy overseas I will be taking a cheaper stainless steel ring in case I lose it. This is also something that I will take off when working with communications equipment, holding or firing a weapon, PT, and sleep. It is a symbol of my dedication and commitment to my wife, but it does occasionally get in the way.

Yes, but only when I was in Garrison. Never in the field, the motor pool, or when deployed.

CINC house was reasonable though, considering O-Courses, Ranges and my
Career Field I just had to keep it on my person and wear it back into the house. Usually was on the Dog tags if it wasn't on the finger.
I probably could have gotten away with one of those silicone Qualo rings if they'd been around.

Because mine's a touch too big, I take it off when doing anything where I may lose it including PT. My wife would rather I take it off and know where it is than I lose it.

Are tattooed ones allowed? "Old" policy was no tattoos below the wrist.
I've always worn my ring (white gold), unless I was working around crushing or electrical.

OSHA rules apply in the Air Force. In an industrial work environment, including outside the wire, as far as I know, you are not supposed to wear them. When I worked on base as a civilian, rings and necklaces, including dogtags, and religious articles are verboten. That was as of five years ago. In uniform, I wore my ring with mybdogtags.

The only time I didn't wear my wedding band was during boot camp at Parris Island and MCT at Camp Geiger, didn't want to lose it. I didn't wear my original band on deployment either, I bought a cheaper titanium one that I wouldn't mind if I lost or if it got stolen if something were to happen to me over there.

I work in an office, no need to take it off. I'll wear it on my ID tag chain when in the field.
