you posted the Air Force regs on wearing the unit citation. The Army regs say the exact same thing the Air Force regs say in that regard also. What you did not pot is the Air Force regs on official photographs. The official photograph is retained in one's military file and reflects what has been received and earned as an individual. This is why temparary awards are not allowed.

Find the Air Force regs on official photographs and you might find, like in the Army, that this is yet another example where he was placed for a photograph without understanding fully what was going on.

Both sides make a valid point. One that he was allowed to wear the unit citation day to day. The other that he should not have worn it in his official military record photo.

The whole point is fairly petty though.
