Expressing Masonic affiliation while in uniform?

What are some ways "other than how you conduct yourself" that you can express your masonic affiliation while in uniform? This includes police, military, etc. rings, lapel pins, watches, etc. Can military personal wear a Masonic lapel pin while in uniform? Same question for police, etc?

Air Force. No more than three rings. No thumb rings. Must be plain and conservative not excessive or extreme.

For that last line, the local base commander defines the limit but I've never heard of anyone really concerned over it. If they are concerned, chances are there were other things that caught someone's attention.

Can't wear rings on duty in certain career fields for safety.

No, you can't wear a Masonic lapel pin on your military uniform.

I will echo what others have said, based on what I know from being in the Navy many moons ago. A ring would be fine if you were in a job/duty that permits rings. You can't wear a personal pin on a uniform.

The old rule of thumb was, unless the Army awarded it to you, you couldn't wear it on your uniform. If you had a pen showing in your pocket, someone would ask you if you had orders awarding that pen.

Haha, that's a good rule to know. What if the pen said U.S. Government?
