Once earned it goes centered above your name plate, or any unit citations you wear. AR 670-1 is helpful http://www.apd.army.mil/pdffiles/r670_1.pdf

MAJ (Join to see), I've always liked the Corps of Engineers Essayons buttons. My uncle, a veteran of WWII, retired from the USAR as a Colonel in the Corps of Engineers. Before I ever thought about entering the service, I can remember him showing me the Essayons buttons on his uniform and explaining how they were different. PFC (Join to see)

Love the eagle that looks like a duck.
Or at least like a swan on the button!
I once got reprimanded for wearing what he thought were unauthorized buttons :)

PFC (Join to see) first off welcome to the regiment.
Per page 212 of DA PAM 670-1:
(2) Females.
(a) On the green and blue uniforms, the service uniform shirts, and maternity tunic, females wear the RDI centered 1/2 inch above the nameplate or 1/4 inch above any unit awards or foreign badges that are worn. When the coat lapel obscures the RDI, Soldiers may wear the RDI aligned to the right edge of unit awards or the nameplate. Wearing the RDI on the service uniform shirt is optional.
(b) On the blue mess and evening mess, and the new version white mess and evening mess uniforms, females wear the RDI centered on the right lapel, with the top of the RDI aligned with the top row of miniature medals. On the old version white mess and evening mess uniforms, females wear the RDI centered on the right side of the jacket (not on the lapels). The RDI is centered between the lapel and shoulder seam, with the top of the RDI aligned with the top row
of miniature medals. The RDI is worn so that the vertical axis is perpendicular to the ground.
