Officers rarely wear their marksmanship medal.

Well, it was obviously a joke which you didn't get, but since you mention it, I've known a lot of officers who wore their expert marksman ribbons (including me).

I didn't backtrack to the post to which you are responding until after I posted, then I saw the joke.

Most officers I've been around don't wear one. I've always be taught that officers are expected to be expert shots, therefore wearing the medal is redundant. I always shot expert, with both the 9mm and whatever M-16 variant I shot, and have never worn mine.
