The military pins and ribbons worn on a service member’s uniform are a testament to the journey that particular member of the armed forces has gone through, but what do the pins on a military uniform mean? We dug deep into the meaning behind every type of pin that can be found on a military uniform with this illustrated guide that showcases more than 100 military pins that are awarded across the six different branches of the military. The badges and insignia we’ve chosen to display in our guide are examples that can be found within the different military branches; this is not an exhaustive list of military pins. The WizardPins military pin guide can be helpful for those who need help identifying military pins or just want to admire the heroic hardware that adorns the uniforms of the many brave people who serve in the U.S. military. Embed code: By WizardPins.com Which Military Uniform Do Service Members Wear Pins On? Military pins are worn on the service member’s dress uniform. The full dress uniform is reserved for more formal occasions, such as parades, ceremonies, receptions, and even private formal events such as weddings or funerals. It is often more decorative and elaborate than the service dress uniform, a less formal dress uniform that is worn in the office or for non-field duty purposes. When a service member is not wearing their dress uniform, they can be found wearing their combat uniform, which is a more casual uniform that is worn for fieldwork and when in combat. Wearing a uniform adorned with shiny pins while in combat is not comfortable or stealthy, so military patches are worn on the combat uniform instead to identify the solder’s rank and skills. If you would like to learn more about military patches, you can check out our guide to the meaning behind every type of patch on a U.S. military uniform. What Are Marksmanship Badges and Medals? Marksmanship badges and marksmanship medals are awards given to a member of the military after they have successfully completed a weapons qualification course; they are worn underneath the Service Ribbons on the front left pocket. The awards given out by the Army and Marine Corps branches are referred to as marksmanship qualification badges, while the Navy, Coast Guard, and Air Force awards for weapons qualifications are referred to as marksmanship medals. The qualification badges and medals are awarded in three grades, expert, sharpshooter, and marksman, across a variety of weapons. The type of weapon that the qualification was earned for can be found displayed on the badge or medal. Marksmanship competition badges are also worn on the left pocket underneath the service ribbons, and these are awarded for high achievement during one of the official marksmanship competitions that are held several times a year. The marksmanship competition badges are awarded in three or four grades (highest to lowest) depending on the military branch awarding them. The Army and Coast Guard award them in three grades: distinguished, silver, and bronze. The Navy and Marine Corps award them in four grades: distinguished, gold, silver, and bronze. And the Air Force’s four grades include distinguished, silver with wreath, bronze with wreath, and bronze. What Do Service Ribbons on a Military Uniform Represent? Service ribbons are often the most colorful part of a military dress uniform and are used to represent medals that have been awarded to the service member. It is not rare to see the actual medals adorning a dress uniform, but as more of these heavy medals are awarded, they can become cumbersome for the service member to wear. To combat this, the military allows service ribbons to be worn in place of the associated medals, with the colors of the ribbon bar matching those of the ribbon that holds the medal. Some of the more well-known service medals include the Medal of Honor, the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart, and the Prisoner of War Medal. There are two types of medals that are represented with service ribbons: individual award medals and unit citation award medals. The individual awards are earned by an individual service member, while unit citation awards are awarded to service members who show extraordinary heroism in action against an armed enemy. Both types of service ribbons are worn above the left front pocket on the dress uniform for all branches of the military, although members of the Army exclusively wear the unit citation awards above the right pocket.
