Are soldiers authorized to wear the Schützenschnur badge ? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/are-soldiers-authorized-to-wear-the-schutzenschnur-badge <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>So I have been informed that the Schützenschnur cannot be put on an ERB but you can wear it. I have also been informed that the award can be put on an ERB but cannot be worn anymore. I have the badge and have worn it since I received the certificate but am now unsure of what is actually authorized. I have checked the regulations but cannot find any hard information. Anyone know and can reference?

I learned at your rank that it&#39;s best to start looking things like this up yourself, because your Soldier&#39;s will be trusting your word, not the PAC / HRC clerk or barracks lawyer word. Sorry for being blunt, but you will appreciate the advice someday. Ask the HRC NCOIC what reg covers the areas that you need to clarify. Good hunting. 1SG Al Brown Mon, 26 Sep 2016 08:05:11 -0400 2016-09-26T08:05:11-04:00 Response by MSG Private RallyPoint Member made Sep 26 at 2016 8:33 AM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/are-soldiers-authorized-to-wear-the-schutzenschnur-badge?n=1923713&urlhash=1923713 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Throwing a bone:<br /><br />AR 670-1 and AR 600-8-22<br /><br />Bon Appetit MSG Private RallyPoint Member Mon, 26 Sep 2016 08:33:31 -0400 2016-09-26T08:33:31-04:00 Response by SGT David Eckstein made Sep 26 at 2016 10:37 AM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/are-soldiers-authorized-to-wear-the-schutzenschnur-badge?n=1924029&urlhash=1924029 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes you can wear it. I wore mine as well. The only difference is that officers that earn that award cannot wear it on their uniform, but they can wear the gaffett if they earn it SGT David Eckstein Mon, 26 Sep 2016 10:37:54 -0400 2016-09-26T10:37:54-04:00 Response by SSG Keith Cashion made Sep 26 at 2016 11:48 AM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/are-soldiers-authorized-to-wear-the-schutzenschnur-badge?n=1924168&urlhash=1924168 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>AR 670–1 • 10 April 2015<br />22–18.

It is no longer placed on the ERB, however is dropped in the OMPF via IPERMS. Your commander (I had to have the first General Officer in my CoC) will have to sign a MFR, attach the award certificate to the MFR, have your S-1 upload it, good to go. I literally had mine completed and uploaded within three hours today. SFC Private RallyPoint Member Wed, 15 Nov 2017 12:23:29 -0500 2017-11-15T12:23:29-05:00 2016-09-26T06:49:17-04:00
