Maybe things have changed, but my foreign wings are on my 214. Maybe it's where you retire if they put them on or not. I retired out of Campbell in 99..

Maybe, but I would think it would be standardized. I have 5 DD214s - Fort Ord, Fort Bragg, Bad Tolz, Fort Benning, and Fort Hood - none have my foreign wings or badges (e.g. schutzenschnur) listed.

I guess I need to go back and have them correct mine.

I'm missing my:

Astronaut Badge
Super Hero Badge
Spy Badge
GRHM (God's Right Hand Man) Badge (Main duty was to arrange the meeting between the bad guys and God)

EDIT: We need to come up with a "POSER" badge.

They should be included just as foreign medal awards are. I have all wings and foreign awards noted on DD214

I retired in '93 and just heard from a 'source' that the regs regarding the foreign badges and the DD-214 changed sometime in the '90's - guess there are disadvantages to retiring as WJC was coming into office.
