Do you all think that if your school trained why can’t we wear the shoulder cord on Dress Uniform. As of now only 11B is only ones allowed. So let’s send some letters to change the. Regulations?

Infantry life sucks, in general, so they get to wear a pretty ribbon so they can feel special.

Truth be told men in battle don’t fight for flag or Country or even for their loved ones ,they fight for the man on their right and left ,for in that place that’s all they have, just a thought from someone who once wore that pretty ribbon and still feels special,Sir.

SGT Philip Roncari I wore the ribbon too, that's why I can poke fun at it. :)
Otherwise, I'd just be a dick.

I don’t see any merit in doing so. The blue cord and disks were designed specifically for the Infantry. I took mine off when I reclassed to medic, and it never once occurred to me that there should be a red one in its place.
If everything is an emergency, nothing is. If everyone is special, no one is. It would be just another uniform item with no utility; there are already devices on the uniform that display MOS/Branch.

I'm lost for words. Since I been in the Army I've only seen 4 different shoulder cords (My lovely blue infantry cord, French fourragere, the Schützenschnur, and some band members wearing something)
Are you telling me every mos has a shoulder cord?

Once upon a time, yes practically every branch in the Army had a cord. Not saying they were official/authorized, but they did exist.
