As long as you are not removed thru disciplinary reasons and performed your duties honorably, you can keep it on. And, you had to have pushed Trainees at least once.Response by MSG Private RallyPoint Member made Sep 10 at 2019 2:41 PM2019-09-10T14:41:57-04:002019-09-10T14:41:57-04:00SFC Private RallyPoint Member5010985<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes, as long as you weren't removed from the trail due to misconduct the Drill Sergeant Badge is yours.Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Sep 10 at 2019 3:01 PM2019-09-10T15:01:55-04:002019-09-10T15:01:55-04:00SSG Private RallyPoint Member5025162<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You keep it as long as they did not take you off for an investigation.Response by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made Sep 15 at 2019 9:29 AM2019-09-15T09:29:48-04:002019-09-15T09:29:48-04:00SSG Dennis O'Connor5025721<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>First off it’s a Drill Sargent Badge not a drill badge. Secondly you earned the badge when you completed the USADSS. Unless you were removed for misconduct the badge is yours to keepResponse by SSG Dennis O'Connor made Sep 15 at 2019 12:23 PM2019-09-15T12:23:58-04:002019-09-15T12:23:58-04:002019-09-10T11:35:44-04:00
