Looks like there are a few pics of generals - some of them do not have a COB. I did not serve in Military so I do not know - seems odd you make it general w/o and combat experience - can someone chime in on that? Im very curious. View Quote |

Meanwhile in the USMC...
Simple, clean, no need for velcro patches and badge gayness. Army should adopt USMC uniform regulations so that way they don't keep embarrassing themselves. |

Eleven years, 7 AAM's (3 downgraded from ARCOM's), 2 ARCOM's (1 downgraded from an MSM, 1 V Device denied). That should have been 4 ARCOM's - 1 w/ V Device, and 1 MSM. The MSM was my for my ETS. I never received anything but an excellent, promote ahead of peers, NCOER. I was asked to re-up for 6th deployment when I said no more (I was the an E-6 doing the work of a Platoon Sergeant, who was non-deployable due to bone spurs in his feet). So, I would have held an E-7 slot during deployment, nope I felt the big green weenie too many times. 5 combat deployments, 2 non-combat deployments, 8.5 years overseas. Far from an Audie Murphy type, nothing heroic by true standards, but I ran 5 X 3 on my chest, and was proud of it. No one under the rank of E-7 was ever recommended for a Bronze Star or higher, not a single soldier in my Battalion, that lived to wear it proudly. That's how senior leadership saw the recognition system, you either lived to re-up or move-on, or died fighting for their promotions. View Quote |

It's so they don't have to feel like the self inflated braggarts they are when they make sure to tell everyone they are a 'Master Gunner.'
I've seen officers, higher enlisted, and females complete spur rides and actually be awarded spurs when everyone knew it was so fucking wrong and undeserved... So I wonder how well those same NCO's did when they were doing their Master Gunner stuff... |

Quoted: I wonder if he ever had to deal with a soldier who raped someone. I don't recall reading about that in BoB. Could have happened though, I remember reading somewhere that a few dozen soldiers were executed in the European theater for raping civilian women. IIRC one commander's solution was to set up a brothel for his boys to use MAJ Winters' solution probably would not involve paying a civilian contractor 80k to tell privates that anything that a female feels is offensive constitutes sexual harrassment because it contributes to a hostile work environment.

Quoted: Confused. Green tabs on shoulders were for chain of command leadership positions. What leadership position would an E-8 hold? He's not a 1SG. Also, I'm reminded of a line in Starship Troopers when Rico goes to OCS and someone mentions so many staff officers rolling around that they had to come up with special insignia for officers in leadership positions just to differentiate them from staff weenies. My opinion? Rank, division insignia, regimental insignia, one row of three ribbons (wearer's preference), branch insignia that's it. No more badges, patches, wings, unit citation awards, whatever. Nice, clean, let's the killing end of the spear do our talking for us. Medals go in the shadowbox after they are awarded. View Quote |

The commandant of the USMC should make it even simpler, easier and better maintenance for the USMC in regards to professional services uniforms and the Army should do the same. This changing of uniforms all the time is a product of too many flag officers with too much time on their hands. It is a waste of money. |

Field Artillery Master Gunner Course. Master Gunnery-M1/M1A1 Tank Course. Infantry Fighting Vehicle Master Gunner Course. Avenger Master Gunner Course. M1A2 SEP Master Gunner Course. Stryker Master Gunner Course. Patriot Master Gunner Course. The five crossed weapons in the center represent all five branches eligible for the award, and the laurel wreath represents “the victory of the Maneuver Force.” "The five crossed weapons in the center represent all five branches eligible for the award", Um am I blind, cause I only see 4 crossed weapons. Artillery Cannon, rifle, missile, and a sword (not sure what a sword has to do with Master GUNNER, maybe a professional sword thrower course. The 5th weapon must be that tank that they forgot to represent, because, you know, tankers don't have Master Gunners. |
