napoleonpp Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 I have a question I was wondering if I could get some confirmation on. When I was promoted after WOCS I had lost my Regimental Affiliation with my last unit I was stationed with as enlisted. I would like to get this back. According to multiple people I have talked to, and from reading the new AR 670-1 I am under the impression I do not have to get a new DA Form 4187 signed, I only have to prove I was assigned with the unit previously in order to wear the DUI. Am I correct thanking this? Thanks for any assistance. AR 670-1 states:"Authorization. Insignia used to represent regimental affiliation consists of either the RDI or DUI of a design approved by TIOH. A Soldier’s Regimental affiliation using an RDI is based on a Soldier’s branch/corps/special branch, as determined by PMOS or specialty. Soldiers may wear the RDI for their affiliated regiment or they may be approved to wear the DUI for a unit in which they are serving or previously served successfully. See DA Pam 670-1 for approval process to wear the DUI to demonstrate regimental affiliation." DA Pam 670-1 states:"Authorization. AR 670–1 authorizes insignia used to represent regimental affiliation to consist of either the RDI or DUI. A Soldier’s Regimental affiliation using an RDI is based on a Soldier’s branch/corps/special branch asdetermined by PMOS or specialty. A Soldier’s Regimental affiliation using a DUI is based on a unit in which the Soldier is serving or previously successfully served. Soldiers may wear the RDI for their affiliated regiment or may wear the DUI for a unit in which they are serving or have previously successfully served based off their assignment history as indicated in their personnel record."

TachedOutOffRoad Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 That's how it reads to me as well. Wear it. I just had to research it all as well to wear my blues this Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamer Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Guard question...Wearing our DUI as an officer goes above the unit ribbons in place of the regimental pin being that we don't have shoulder lapels to pin them to? Also, I've heard mixed emotions... Marksmanship badge as an officer, wear it or no... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBuzzkill Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 You should definitely wear your marksmanship badge. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also yes, your DUI should be located 1/4" above your unit awards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtyfoot Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Wear your marksmanship badge. How else will anyone know if you've qualified? Also, I just throw on whatever old DUI I have lying around. Usually I just swing by WOCS and pull one off of the trees if I don't have one handy. Had to climb awfully high to get my 5th Group DUI, but by gollly I got it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
