Can an E-4 combat veteran wear their CAB, WINGS, and unit patch if they have to go back through basic training?

When I was a DS at Benning, we had times where prior service from other branches would come through. We never treated them worse than anyone else. Generally they were treated much better. Yes, they were “put in charge” a lot of times, but that’s because it made life easier on us. If you spend two years straight, every nine weeks, training the same group of kids, you take the help where you can.
Also, save the badges for when you graduate. Not going to help you any during training.

I can deal with the drill sergeants but then damn newbies... heeelllll no, I’ll end up cussing somebody child clean out lol

SPC Devin Young - So, it's a coin toss really. Of course, if you walk around with an "undressed" duty uniform all thru BCT, think of the questions you'll get at one time once y'all put on the dress uniform. No easy call on this one.
