Dam Sgt Savage! You don't see many CIB's in CAP!

Capt. Lord
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

Quote from: CaptLord on July 09, 2007, 01:08:11 AMI can't find any clear regulatory guidance on this (surprise! CAP is unclear on regs!) In this thread you will see numerous comnputer graphics showing mutliple metal blingage, so I am pretty sure that you can wear both an EMT "Star of Life" badge ( hey, when I got mine, that was the only badge...) and an ES rating badge. Do you want to tell el generalissimo that he can't wear more than one set of wings?

Doesn't say you can, therefore you cannot.  It is very clear.

Okay, I went back in time and did it the old fashioned way, I took a picture of all my crap, some of which is still missing, especially a lot of the little stars and oakleafs for ribbons.  Should have a 20 on my Red Service Ribbon too...

I almost didn't reply. Seems a little pretentious. I got over it.

Sarge- on what type of occasion, if any, do you wear all of those. You certainly are well decorated. Dont see those much in CAP. I know it sounds corny, but thank you for your service to our country.

Here is what the regs say: " A maximum of four earned badges may be worn on all blue service uniforms. A maximum of two badges are worn on the left side of the uniform above ribbons, or welt of pocket if ribbons are not worn"
Bringing me back to my first question: EMT or GTL first in order of precedence?

In the Army, there are "classes" of badges.  Like the CIB is a higher class than Jump Wings, so the CIB is worn on top.  Jump Wings and the Air Assault Badge are the same, so it's up to the wearer as to which one goes on top.  I'd say the GTM and EMT badge are equivelant, so without precise guidance, I'd wear them how want.  Like I said, when I wore my GTM and EMT badge, I wore the GTM on top since it had the star and wreath.  If I had the basic GTM badge, I don't it would matter to me.

You're not reading the tables.  I will not take this topic off topic any further.  If you want me to explain in detail, start a new one.

Your welcome!

I can never wear them all at the same time. Realistically, the CIB replaces the EIB anyway. I stick to  wearing my GT, Senior Parachutist, and Usually Air Assault. I've never been real comfortable wearing the CIB.... reminds me of what I went through to get it.

I can certainly understand that. An impressive rack nonetheless. Bravo Zulu!

Did you ever have any contact with either the Boxer or the Mercy? My brother in law was stationed on both during much of the same time you served.

No, fortunately I didn't get injured to have to make trip to the Mercy, and I don't think the Boxer was in our Battle Group, I was deployed with HS-14 on the carrier USS Ranger

A helicopter man. I just got out of Blackhawk mechanic school a month ago. Start some aircrew training next month. I think I've learned enough to know that I don't know anything. Helicopters are remarkably simple and complex at the same time.
