Haven't qual'd in 5 years... do I wear a marksmanship badge on a DA photo?

I am preparing for the upcoming SFC promotion board and am stuck on something in reference to the marksmanship badge. I am currently in a student status following a recruiting tour of 3 years. I haven't qualified with a weapon in almost 5 years. Should I: A) Remove the qual badge from my uniform and ERB; B) remove the qual badge from my uniform and keep it on the ERB so the board can see my last qual; or C) leave both the badge on the uniform and the ERB? Thanks

SFC Private RallyPoint Member Unless it has changed, board members do not see or really care about when you qualified last, so I would leave the badge, but ensure that it's correctly placed in the uniform.

Haven’t qualified in five years? I don’t think you can even call yourself a soldier
