I wear my name plate and sometimes a ranger tab. Depending on who I plan to meet with. If is some grunts and SOC guys I put it on. But normally it’s slick. People I work with know my qualifications. I went a few months without wearing my tab on my ACUs. I came off one day and couldn’t find it. When you’re in an office building inside a SCIF nobody cares what you used to be in a previous life.

Whenever I am in Bs, which is very rarely, I put an outdated (usually by one appurtenance) ribbon rack on, if the occasion is somewhat formal. Normally though, I will just wear my Senior Aviation Wings, RDI, nameplate, and shoulder marks.
Pro Tip if you don't know already: use a commercial stiffener backing, or just a piece of cardboard, behind your ribbons, badges, etc. This will prevent your ribbons/badges from pulling downward on your shirt, which makes everything look like crap.

Sir
I always ask that question before any sort of pay day actives of function in which the Class B uniform is required. From my experiences both at Bragg and the rest of the Army we generally do NOT wear our ribbons.
I personally believe we should wear everything as it gives the Soldier a sense of pride and appreciation for those awards and schools that they have completed. It also sets apart those who have been recognized for various awards or accomplishments in their career.

The only time I wear Bs is at weddings and funerals where I take my jacket off during receptions, so I keep my fruit salad on my jacket
