<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes. It can actually be warned as a commissioned Officer. I know multiple officers here at Huachuca that served as BOLC instructors and where the instructor badge as company commanders (aka no longer in the position).CPT(P) Private RallyPoint MemberFri, 02 Aug 2019 23:32:13 -04002019-08-02T23:32:13-04:00Response by CPT Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 3 at 2019 5:37 AM

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes, the regulation states "Soldiers who are assigned to a noncommissioned officer academy and serve in an instructor position..." It does not differentiate between officers and enlisted.CPT Private RallyPoint MemberSat, 03 Aug 2019 05:37:11 -04002019-08-03T05:37:11-04:00Response by CSM Darieus ZaGara made Aug 3 at 2019 7:38 AM

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes, former enlisted who earn specialty badges while serving, Drill Sergeant etc. can wear what they earned.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I know this is quite old for an internet post, but I was digging through regs for my academy's upcoming accreditation. To put it more concisely, the badge can be taken away IF the instructor is still in an instructor position and fails to meet requirements for the badge level for two consecutive evaluations within six months, and after being counseled is still performing below standards during another six months. Once they move out of the instructor role it is permanent, unless they go back to a instructor position later in their career. If revoked, the badge can only be reinstated by the CG, TRADOC with full justification.<br /><br />To be eligible outside of TRADOC, a Soldier or Civilian must be formally assigned as an instructor in a Table of Distribution and Allowance instructor position.<br /><br />Also, as stated previously, it is available for all ranks as long as they meet instructor position assignment requirements per TR 600-21, instructor certification requirements per TR 350-70 and any local requirements (i.e. some NCOA's hold boards as a final step to receive the badge). Other branches/nations that are assigned to an Army institution can participate as well.SSG Private RallyPoint MemberThu, 06 Feb 2020 02:52:00 -05002020-02-06T02:52:00-05:002019-08-02T22:02:29-04:00
