Did we just lose the only brass rank insignia we had as Army NCOs? Is the shiny gold metal Army NCO rank now obsolete, good only for plaques? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/did-we-just-lose-the-only-brass-rank-insignia-we-had-as-army-ncos-is-the-shiny-gold-metal-army-nco-rank-now-obsolete-good-only-for-plaques <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div> Wed, 25 May 2016 14:37:56 -0400 Did we just lose the only brass rank insignia we had as Army NCOs?
