Shy Torque, is that a troll? Under what circumstances are you refering?
Properly speaking, at a black tie do, one should not wear ones medals with a DJ. It is however correct to wear them with tails.
Mind you, on a cruise last year, black tie, there were at least two groups, say 6 men, wearing their CDM and bar.
And if you are refering to wearing medals at commemoration services you will note that it is even a uniform do. Dress blazer and grey flannels, appropriate beret to service and skills. Only the RAF is out of step there insisting that RAF Officers do not parage with OR - or rather they do not wear the RAF Officer's beret or other officer's headgear. The RAF contingent is supposed to wear the RAFA forage cap.
