Why don't officers wear marksmanship badges?

I was told early in OCS by the Col. that officers don't usually wear them because it is expected that they be experts in everything a Soldier does. What good does it do and how much confidence does it instill in leadership if a leader does not qualify as expert in one of the most basic skills a Soldier has? The solution, no officer wears qualification badges, usually. Not that I agree with it.

Sir, it is in the training manual

The reply at the tip of this from the Colonel is great. That is also a clear display of you leadership value in that you left no room for missunderstaning, confusion, or otherwise of what you wrote.

My question is what the hell is going on with that badge setup in this picture?

Again it appears that do-dads and badges, ribbons, patches dominate the thinking of those who post here. In the process of explaining themselves, there are well written expositions that reassure me that our soldiers know their business. But there is a disconnect for me, seeing rag bag soldiers wearing camo in public, apparently never ironed and looking slovenly; yet there is a concerted effort among yourselves to show off the pretty goo gaws.

I qual'ed expert rifle and marksman pistol. Never wore the badges ... until I went to work civil service for the Marine Corps. I have put on my blues for one meds night (AKA dining in) and one MC birthday ball. When in Rome...

Yet 2lt that's not true in all my years as an mortar did we have one lt that knew anything at all about mortars in fact in higher level planning g missions the mortar plt sgt was the one advising the col not the lt

There is no reg. Its unwritten tradition. Once when I was wearing my Expert Marksmanship badge and my Expert Field Medical Badge, someone told me it cheapens the EFMB; no logic I see in that; I earned both. Its a silly tradition. Is it because officers do have lower scores on the average (because they don't get the opportunity to practice shooting as oftern even though they must qualify annually as do enlisted.)? Don't know if that's the reason, but this unwritten tradition is silly!

Geez I must be getting old! When I served officers wore all their awards and decorations. IAW 670-1. Different Army after 1991. Just hope that all officer should qualify annually. Wonder who clean their weapons?

I served in the Marine Corps and then later in the Army. I couldn't figure out this Army thing about officers and marksmanship badges either. In the Corps when you saw an officer with the Expert Rifle and Pistol badges, at least you knew he could shoot as well as any enlisted man.
