A rather stupid question

Rach4USN · 06-24-2015, 09:51 AM

I apologize in advance but here goes nothing...I'm engaged have been since before MEPS; I was obviously given the whole don't get married while in DEP breakdown. Which is why our wedding has been pushed back...My question is this, am I permitted to wear my engagement ring while at RTC or will they make me leave it at home???

Wear it, worse case scenario is your RDC will make you put it in your drawer. Most don't care. Say it's a wedding ring if you want.

They usually let you wear it. I personally would keep it locked up though. It would be VERY easy to lose it somewhere. If you do lose it, you're pretty much SOL too

I would only bring/wear a plain band.
In fact that's what I do on the ship. I have a plain band for work and my "real" ring on the weekends.
It's just too easy to lose or break.

Thank you for the advice guys! Losing it would be completely unacceptable, so maybe I'll leave it home...would we be required to take them off at all should I choose to bring it? I don't see any instance when I would be removing it...
