Yes to both your questions - and carry a copy of the dress regs with you for all the WOs, MWOs and CWOs who will challenge you

And you may wish to refer to it as a "Dive badge" rather than an "STD badge."
I like stds thoughAnd you may wish to refer to it as a "Dive badge" rather than an "STD badge."

Just to be clear on vocab. here: Ships have Dive Teams, but the qualification is "Ship Diver", not Ships Team Diver. The whole is by opposition to the more advanced - full time divers trade: Clearance Divers.
And Journeyman, it's "diver" not dive. The badge that says you dive is the submariner badge
. Then again, I suppose any badge that indicates you are in Gagetown ... or Shilo, is a "dive" badge.

Truth be told, I always thought of it as the "escargot fork & sushi" badge.

Those are basic diver qualifications only if you attended a West coast diver course - on the East coast, it's lobster tails and Jig fishing.

I think the lobster has been put on ice since the court martials for poaching - or are you saying that the East Coast navy never learns?

Well, we keep getting failures on items that are past their PM date for change out, and still have PM not being done to change the item out before it fails, so...
Digging up a old post, but do you happen to know which article of the dress regs say that you can? I tried looking but I couldn’t find a specific oneYes to both your questions - and carry a copy of the dress regs with you for all the WOs, MWOs and CWOs who will challenge you

Chapter 3 addresses specialist skill badges. While it does not say so directly you don't lose your specialist skill badge if you change elements if you are qualified to wear a dive badge you wear it no matter what element you are in.

Can't remember article - suffice to say, it's a Hazardous Duty Qualification that can be worn on any environmental uniform. Ex-Army WO here - I'd NEVER question anyone wearing it, as long as they can attest to being qualified to wear it. Seen a number of people that obtained it as non-engineer Army folks to put towards Clearance Diver OT"s.
dangerboy beat me to it...
