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?

Sounds like a E-5 board question to me. I learned at your rank that it's best to start looking things like this up yourself, because your Soldier'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.
