All, if you are married, do you wear your wedding ring in uniform? If you do, what kind and what are your thoughts on why you chose that type.

My wife and I each have metal and tattooed ones, but on advice of my father and uncles (all retired Navy) I am likely not going to wear one while on the boat; they have all seen deglovings happen, and I have also been warned about careless ETs who forget to remove jewelry before doing maintenance and then receive an electric shock.

Yes I wear my ring in uniform. Only when I'm working in or on my trucks (915s) other than just mounting up and driving do I take it off and put it on my dog tag chain. Since I do work around equipment that could potentially snag my ring, I try to minimize the risk by having a plain gold band, I don't need a gaudy rock getting in my way at work nor risk losing an expensive piece of jewelry.
On another note, wearing a ring or not, fellow soldiers should know if you're married. I'd recommend having the ring on your person at all times.

Have not worn mine at work from the start, as I work with electricity and mechanical stuff. I don't work on equipment much as the supervisor, but it habit not to wear jewelry and it sets a good example.

Mines titanium....nice and light and its was fairly inexpensive. I had a tendency to play with my ring (take it on and off) and lost my orginal one within 2months of being married. I can't afford to wear an expensive one as I'm thinking that was the first but not the last time it will happen.

I used to always remove it whenever I worked with electronics... however other than that I've been wearing a gold band for almost 30 years.

I wear Tungsten. Doesn't scratch easily and looks sharp in uniform. Also, if it needs to be taken off for some reason, I can put it on my Dog tags and it blends in well. Very simple ring design with inscription on the inside.

Only when practical. I do not wear it when I am on the ship or conducting electrical/mechanical work.
Standard wedding band, platinum. Makes for a great bottle opener when in a foreign port.
Cheers!

CSM Michael J. Uhlig, I have no idea. It was just the first picture that came up when I searched ring de-gloving.

For me, I currently wear a traditional metal one, but have considered getting a tattooed one.
