See "Noncommissioned Officer Professional Development Ribbon" in AR 600-8-22.<br /><br />What do you mean when you say that you've "dug around" for this answer? You might be well served by reading and understanding some of the most basic, common Army regulations. The welfare of your future subordinates depends on it.Response by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 14 at 2016 9:39 AM2016-08-14T09:39:25-04:002016-08-14T09:39:25-04:00SFC John Hill1804931<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>See AR 600–8–22 Military Awards 5–6.

Did you receive a 1059 stating you met course standards? If you answered "YES" to both, then you are authorized the wear of the NCOPD Ribbon. I'm even going to throw you and your NCOs a bone here. You will find the answer in AR 600-8-22 Section 5-6.Response by MSG Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 14 at 2016 11:44 AM2016-08-14T11:44:56-04:002016-08-14T11:44:56-04:00SSG Mark Franzen1805139<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes you are authorized to wear it I read in AR351-1 I think it outlined it in that regulation?Response by SSG Mark Franzen made Aug 14 at 2016 11:49 AM2016-08-14T11:49:02-04:002016-08-14T11:49:02-04:00CPL Anthony Slaughter1805393<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If its been awarded to you, it should be on your ERB.Response by CPL Anthony Slaughter made Aug 14 at 2016 2:29 PM2016-08-14T14:29:06-04:002016-08-14T14:29:06-04:00CW5 Private RallyPoint Member1805650<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I know someone that attended BNCOC as a PFC back in the day.
