Class “A” uniforms are allowed for events / scenarios other than combat. Awards are to be kept at the minimum as listed below. The only exception being if a member actually earned a military medal or award and shows proof of same. Otherwise, the following awards are all that may be worn:
ETO Ribbon with campaign stars and invasion arrowhead
Good Conduct Ribbon
American Campaign Ribbon
Combat Infantry Badge
French, Dutch, Belgian lanyards
**Pathfinder patch for actual jump school completion only (Real military or ADT school)**
Jump wings with optional campaign stars and invasion arrowhead, with appropriate oval backing.
Sleeve Service Stripes
Overseas Bars
Also, presidential unit citation ribbon, with oak leaves is acceptable- 82nd was awarded it twice.
Also, please remember that the coat or blouse was worn up to the Spring of 1945 then the Ike was issued in mass. If you want to wear all the lanyards, ribbons, PUCs, etc you should stick to wearing the Ike. Wearing all that stuff with the blouse was not historically accurate.
