Army Tie Tack Regulation?
I was blown up in Iraq and was awarded the Purple Heart. I also have a lapel tack. I was wondering if I can wear the lapel tack as a tie tack in Class A’s? I have not found any regulation on Tie tacks. Thanks.
Tie Tacks are covered by the same regulation as any other part of the uniform. AR 670-1
1–14. Wear of jewelry
a. Soldiers may wear a wristwatch, a wrist identification bracelet, and a total of two rings (a wedding set is considered one ring) with Army uniforms, unless prohibited by the commander for safety or health reasons. Any jewelry soldiers wear must be conservative and in good taste. Identification bracelets are limited to medical alert bracelets and MIA/POW identification bracelets. Soldiers may wear only one item on each wrist.
b. No jewelry, other than that described in paragraph 1–14a, above, will appear exposed while wearing the uniform; this includes watch chains, or similar items, and pens and pencils. The only authorized exceptions are religious items described in para 1–7b, above; a conservative tie tack or tie clasp that male soldiers may wear with the black four-inhand necktie; and a pen or pencil that may appear exposed on the hospital duty, food service, CVC, or flight uniforms.
“a conservative tie tack or tie clasp that male soldiers may wear with the black four-in hand necktie”
If it is conservative in appearance, you are good to go. The only problem is, anyone in your chain of command or NCO support channel can decide that they don’t feel it is “conservative” and tell you to take it off.
So, you can wear it until someone calls you on it. You can quote the reg to them, (“Gee, Sar’nt, I looked it up in 670-1, and it meets the definition in the Reg”) but if they say that it isn’t conservative enough, you have to take it off.
I’d wear it.
Good Luck
