The vast majority of military people work around some sort of machinery, very strong chance of tearing off a finger if you make the wrong move. Most military units have strict rules about wearing rings etc around the machinery, on the flight line, or around electrical stuff. The military rings I remember in the PX were kinda cheap anyway.

I never got a class ring, they were $15.00 and I didn't want to spend perfectly good beer money on a trinket. grin

I do, however, have my Mother's ring, same high school as myself, class of 1925, perfect condition in the original box.
