I was prior Army. I am now in the Navy. Does anyone know what the regs are for wearing my awards? Can you cite the source?

The order of precedence changes slightly, but only when both branches have similar awards. For example, if you have both the Navy Cross and the Amy's Distinguished Service Cross, the Navy Cross is of higher precedence as long as you're in the Navy. But if you changed back to the Army, the DSC would then have higher precedence. The same for medals such as the Army Commendation Medal and the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal. Check here, and where you see Army and Navy in the same box, just figure the Navy version is of higher precedence as long as you are in the Navy.
