<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Based off of AR 670-1, the kind of bracelet you are talking about would not be authorized in uniform.<br /><br />&quot;Soldiers may wear a wristwatch, a wrist religious or 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. Soldiers may also wear one activity tracker, pedometer, or heart rate monitor. Any jewelry or monitors Soldiers wear while in uniform or civilian clothes on duty must be conservative. Bracelets are limited to medical alert bracelets, missing in action, prisoner of war, killed in action (black or silver color only), and religious bracelets similar in size and appearance to identification bracelets. Soldiers are authorized to wear only one item on each wrist while in uniform or in civilian clothes on duty. In addition to the one item (watch or identification bracelet) authorized to be worn on each wrist, Soldiers may wear an activity tracker, pedometer, or heart rate monitor.&quot;

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It&#39;s a little gray of an area. As SFC Livingston stated there is guidance for memorial bracelets but at the end of the day if you have a name and date on your wrist nobody is going to know the cause of death without you bringing it up.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Memorialize whoever you want however you want. In uniform, you just have to follow 670-1. But why would it matter if you wear a memorial bracelet for a friend who didn&#39;t die in combat? Or someone who didn&#39;t serve? I just fail to see how that even matters. <br /><br />If I had a really close friend die and I wanted to memorialize them via a bracelet, I would. I wouldn&#39;t care what anyone thought. I don&#39;t think that people who died in combat have a monopoly on those bracelets. <br /><br />I just Googled memorial bracelets. There&#39;s all different kinds. I saw one for a fallen police officer. Do what you want but in uniform it just has to abide by 670-1.
