As proud as I was to be an army pilot and receive my wings (even though i did tic-toc march up to collect them, much to everyones amusement), the day I took off my uniform for the last time was the last day I wore them. Not everyone in the civilian world is pleased to see you flashing your military pride in their faces! Rules and regs aside, I just find it a bit naff. Different roles might be a bit different, but in the offshore world, it just seems a bit OTT. You have got to move on. Nothing wrong with being proud of you past but people soon get sick of the old "when I was in the army/airforce/navy" lines and you just look like a washed up has been. If you really need to continue to wear old bits of uniform then do it at home or do what i do and just sew your wings onto your under-crackers.
