Wedding Rings, do you wear one in uniform?

My civilian jobs have always been a not for wearing rings(safety).

Wear a gold band but never did in uniform. Worked around high voltage and didn't want it permanently attached.

TSgt Joshua Copeland, always, except when I was in the field.

Nope work flight line can't wear it.

Here is why I choose other.


I had my engagement ring on one day it wasn't anything big because I am a plan Jane. We were putting the shelters back on the Humvee and My ring got caught on one of the latches on the side of the shelter. I luckily got unstuck but it was a scary moment for me. I took the ring off and it looked like a tear drop instead of a circle. I took it home knowing he would understand. From that point on if I was doing field work I didn't wear a ring, but in service dress I always wore my ring. ( My finger has a permanent "ring" now it is like it indented my bone.)

I used to, till I took it off one night in bed and it fell behind the bed. I used the shop vac the next day to vacuum under the bed as my small children throw everything under the bed, so I think my ring is in a dump near Belton Tx. If anyone finds it, please contact me.

When my grandfather died,I inherited his wedding ring (only male descendant) I wore that until right after basic. One of the drills was a mechanic and near the end had pulled aside many of the married soldiers and showed them the scar on his finger from when the ring had gotten caught. While on leave, I locked it up in a gun safe and it has sat there ever since.
When I got married, I was "issued" a new one and that I wore only in garrison, non field training/motor pool environments.

Some if the guys wore them. I wasn't married and I was an ET. Always had my hands on high voltage in the ships Radar. Not a good idea to wear any kind of ring!!

I would wear it if my job allowed it, unfortunately it doesn't. My husband doesn't either for the same reason.

I wore mine, a plain gold band most of the time, except when working or flying. I saw a guy get hung by his from a rescue hoist on a helicopter when the ship rolled and the ladder fell out from under him. Luckily he was able to grab a hold of it with his other hand & hold on until we got the ladder back up. There were also safety posters with a finger ripped off at the knuckle because of a wedding band. Some situations are just too dangerous for Even a wedding band.
