Why don't officers wear marksmanship badges?

I wasn't in the army I'm just a sailor can't shoot unless the right unless it's a rocket or a cannon. But I feel like someone earned something they should probably wear it it

MARINE OFFICERS DO

Generally speaking Marine do were their marksmanship badges,cultural thing?

As an officer, I normally did not wear marksmanship medals with the exception of when I was a PLT LDR or CO CDR. I wore them then to reinforce the importance of marksmanship at the unit level.

Officers within the Air Force that had a requirement to carry a sidearm were awarded an expert marksmanship ribbon if they qualified. As a pilot and a senior command post controller carrying nuclear PAL codes, I was authorized either a 9mm SA or .38 revolver. It did not carry the weight of your marksmanship badge in the USA, however, the AF only allowed two badges on a dress uniform. For most officers this would be pilot, navigator or astronaut wings and the secondary would be a jump badge or missle badge. ATC, AAI, intel etc would be tertiary and not worn unless you didn't have either of the first and second. Enlisted troops had a similar expert marksmanship ribbon with a star for rifle expertese.

In USAF, there is a "Marksmanship Ribbon"...worn by any member achieving the score to authorize. A bronze star indicates a second or more qualified weapon. I qualified M-16, .38.and M9, so I wore ribbon with a star.

Marine officers fire the rifle and pistol every year for qualification til they reach field grade (only the pistol then) and wear both marksmanship badges as part of the Service and Blues A uniform (green and blue blouse).

Do officers qualify? Or do they familiarize?

Strictly cultural. Nothing in regs. I was in a Bn where the commander required officers to wear it. I always was expert so I didn’t mind, but some officers, especially with pistols (since the Army doesn’t train you to fire a pistol, they just hand you a pistol as a staff officer or commander) some probably didn’t want to wear them!

I have been both officer and enlisted. I am the founder of "UNIFORM GUIDE"; the best selling booklet on the proper wear of USA military uniforms. Having been on both sides, holding multiple ranks at each level, I agree with those who are saying basically "Officers are embarrassed by not being as good at something as those they lead". Senior officers hiding behind "Officers are planners, organizers, etc." doesn't relieve them of the basics. Exceptional servicemen/women can do both.
