I've sustained an injury that put my arm in a sling and since then has made it quite difficult to put my belt on so I found some suspenders that are close to green and have worn them. They don't show with the blouse on nor do they impede my mission status of being broken. I've checked AR 670-1 and I can't find anything that helps

Have your Doc write you s Temp profile so you can use them if it's that hard to put a belt on and your Doc says that your arm must not move, he shouldn't have a problem with writing one out. This way if anyone says anything you are covered.

I agree with SSG Clarence Blackburn. I number of years ago someone had a great idea that we all needed to wear berets. I was undergoing laser treatments on my face and my dermatologist told me to stay out of the sun. (not the easiest thing in our line of work) I asked him to write a profile directing me to wear a hat with a brim. I was the envy of the Army! lol (everyone hated the beret and I got to wear a PC) I framed that profile. Anyways, get a profile and keep it on you. Ensure it specifically states that you need to wear suspenders.

Pretty sure they are acceptable wear, though not issued. Stay in the army color scheme. Most leaders will not care as it doesn't detract from your professional appearance.
