Depends on your rank and the uniform. On the Class A uniform and dress blues, enlisted personnel wear fabric insignia on the sleeves, whereas officers wear pin-on insignia on the epaulets.
On the Class B uniform, Private (E2), Private First Class (E3), and Specialist (E4) would wear metallic insignia pinned through the collar, whereas Corporal and higher would wear shoulder boards on the epaulets.
On the older Battle Dress Uniforms (BDUs) and Desert Combat Uniform (DCU), rank insignia would be worn on the collar points. On the current Army Combat Uniform (ACU), it is worn on a velcro tab on the front of the uniform.
Officers and Warrant Officers wear their rank insignia on the beret, whereas enlisted personnel wear their regimental crest. Rank insignia is usually sewn onto helmet covers - however, this is often a moot point, as the placement of the rank insignia on the kevlar helmet often leaves it covered by the mounting plates for night vision goggles.
