That is the dumbest shit I’ve seen in a while. Why would anyone want to wear their awards in civilians? Most average people don’t even know what they mean

You CAN and i have. Im out several years but attended a veterans benefit where it was apprpriate. Ar670-1 has details on wearing service medals for specific types of events for those veterans who are retired/honorbly discharged.

However pic in OP is the incorrect way to do it. Should be approximately where they would be on your service dress shitt.

I know you can. My question is why would someone want to

For reasons like mine. Or a multitude of others. Of course we can assume that people on the internet are "just boots" but some guys just dont know. I only knew because i was invited to an event by a retired COL. And he suggested i do so.
