Post Nominals

CM, on cruise ships many wear medals on formal nights. Some wear mess undress too. Last summer a WO with a chest full was in mess dress, not sure what regiment or corps.
Ship personnel also wear theirs, often they are the Environmental Officer and frequently sport dolphins too. Security office on one had para wings as well.
Village vicar in early 70s wore his wings and medals every Sunday.

Another reason to delay going on that cruise until I'm at least 80!

Sorry to dredge this one back up! Anyone knowledgeable of QR's etc?!
We have all had lovely door plates made up for our offices and some of the Officers have had MSc etc added, however, some of the J/SNCO's have also had their awards added ie BSC, MSC, GradDip etc.
Now it's been queried as to whether the OR's are in fact allowed to display their awards. Any advice or guidance chaps?!

The service does not differentiate between the display of post nominals gained by officers and non commissioned personnel - nor should they.
In fact the gaining and display of such post nominals is actively encouraged, since it reflects very favourably upon the service.

Cpl Clott, agree. Although I have a DipEurHum, a BA(Open) and a BA(Hons)(Open), my employer only uses BA(Hons).
My employer is the OU so they should know.

The higher award is generally used when the degrees are in the same subject. The individual, like me (and, I suspect, PN) may have degrees in two different subjects. I have had colleagues qualified in 3 subjects.

So, can i take from this that the general consensus is that:
a. Fine for OR's to display post nominals.
b. Only highest award should be used.
I actively encourage it, but am unsure what the service requirements are.

I think it completely depends on the culture.
One should display only those post nominals which are normal, erring slightly on the modest side. One's employers/colleagues will tell you to up them if it makes them look good.

TTN, that too nut I don't brag about it 
I set about the alphabet soup to annoy my colonel amongst others. Later I found the BSc helped when I worked with the environmental mafia and also put me two up on the DE who only had Cert

Only time I would put BA, MA is if they were in different subjects.
Individual universities should have style guides, eg at Oxford MA comes before DPhil even though the latter might appear more important. Obviously some people will have awards from multiple bodies.
Also don't include things which are obvious. (Eg in my own area of expertise no one writes 'PGCE' as we all are. )
