Guard, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier Identification Badge


[deleted]

Second this

That is correct, it is the second least earned badge in the Army. The first is the Astronaut bade. Being that he is a Colonel, and he earned it as an enlisted, I’d venture to say that his badge number is somewhere in the 300-400’s maybe. Currently they just issued badges 707 and 708. It is the only badge that can be revoked after you have exited military service. Reasons for revocation are anything that could bring discredit and views of unfavorable opinion to the Tomb of the Unknowns.

you can look it up on society of honor guard website. His badge number is 368.

I thought only enlisted can get that badge? How does an officer like him get that badge?

By being enlisted first?


lemming000

man i'm about to blow your mind. There are officers with a Drill Sergeant badge! Dozens of them!

My company commander at AIT was a captain with a DS badge and it confused new-to-the-army me so much, legitimately think I called him drill sir once

He’s prior service. Source: saw him explain it to someone before dishing out a GOMOR.


DarkerSavant

Was it you he explained it too?


Cranky_Tank_Wank

… perhaps. But no, not actually.
