AF enlisted aircrew wings and maintenance badge for OCS

[rafelos1337]

I am leaving for OCS in a few weeks and I went through the list of ribbons and medals that are authorized to wear and I have that squared away. My question is about my enlisted wings and maintenance badge I received from my service in the Air Force, am I supposed to wear them too? Or do I just bring the ribbons with me? Thanks guys in advance.

I saw guys wearing their aircrew wings (silver or pewter - your choice) on their khaki's for candio phase. It's the only device I remember seeing other than ribbons. If I recall correctly, it's also the only enlisted device you can wear as an Officer.
As for ribbons/medals, you'll need ribbons for khakis, and then medals for the chokers, which you'll be graduating in (also the 9th week Personnel Inspection).

Belay my last, I didn't realize you were talking about AF aircrew wings.

Bad gouge.

Yeah, don't listen to me, I'm not a prior, so I'm not entirely sure what the rules are. Especially for other services.

I wore silver (enlisted) Dolphins under the ribbons my whole career. I know of one VFA CO that wears them today. I believe a max of 2 badges to be worn on the uniform.

I wouldn't wear anything that would gain attention from the staff. Anonymity is your friend at OCS.

Yeah by the time I realized how jacked up my original post was, it was too late to take it back. I'm way off tonight for some reason.
I believe what was going on is that I had confused the Aircrew wings with the Air Warfare wings, and someone had told me the Aircrew wings are the only gold enlisted warfare device. Somehow that got jumbled between my brain and the keyboard. I wish I could say it was a drunk post, but there's honestly no excuse.

Technically, I don't think the gold AC wings are "warfare." But for sure the SEAL badge is a warfare device and enlisted wear gold.

Uniform regs article 5201.2 are the guidance for all this if anyone out there wants to get smart. To the OP, the answer you're looking for is "no."

The only gold enlisted warfare device... Good luck touching this to take it off him...

They didn't used to be, but they are now considered Warfare Devices. There's a PQS and everything, so it must be legit. Never mind the 10 month training pipeline.

Yeah I am going to bring them just in case. I dont think enlisted AF flight wings or the maintenance badges would cross over. I just want to make sure before I leave next week. I am all about being a minimalist when it comes to this stuff. I am more about being in the trenches than the fancy stuff. Thanks for the reply's guys.

 

[rafelos1337]

I did figure two ribbon racks would suffice. I just dug them up from my blues that were buried in the back of my closet.

No AF-specific wings or badges transfer over.

Wow...you guys are really on a roll today.
