I was thinking the same about him flying in his dress uniform. No one does it nowadays unless you are escorting a fallen comrade home. His uniform doesn’t add up either. Special Forces tab and regimental affiliation, but wearing a blue infantry cord. They are 2 separate branches. Maybe the National Guard has separate regs on their uniforms.
The National Guard has similar uniform regs as the regular Army. Got this from a web site
Wearing Army uniforms is prohibited in the following situations:
• In connection with the furtherance of any political or commercial interest, or when engaged in off duty civilian employment.
He is a 1st SGT, he should be very familiar with the regs
Dwefinatly lots of fruit salad going on but only my first 4 years were in the Army.
I mean he has no MOH or anything, I can see an ARCOM but dont know what the ribbon is on the top row just under his jump wings.
The CIB and Ranger tab would garner instant respect for this man regardless of my rank. But if it comes around that he is attempting to STEAL some VALOR by parading in this uniform, I would physically rip these badges from his body and remain present until the authorities showed up to arrest him.
