Can i use my Army awards on the Navy?

Question

I was 11 B in the army, but now im joining the Navy. The question is can i use my Infantry Blue cord, my rifle + grenades medals, airborne tag and the other army ribbons?

Answer 1

Your ribbons will carry over. You will have to find them on an Army base to buy them though. They can be mounted onto a Navy ribbon rack that conforms to the navy uniform regulations.

The Blue cord and airborne tag are not authorized with Navy uniforms.

I don't know what the rifle and grenade medals are, but I would guess no. Everything you wear has to be within Navy uniform regulations, so you might have to research that yourself 9your recruiter can do it for you). I have a friend that went Army to Navy a few years ago. He wears his Army ribbons on his ribbon rack and that is it.
