When did they waive the rank requirements to be an instructor or instructor trainer.

I thought you have to be a Cpl and above and went through PME courses to be eligible for MCMAP Instructor's Course for green belt or higher. What part did they waived? I don't think I quite follow on that.

I asked because there are some members of insufficient rank claiming to be instructors

I am a MAI and the requirement is still that you have to be a NCO to be a MAI and a Sgt to be a MAIT. The only other requirement is to be able to get a 225 on a PFT and be PME complete when you attend the course.
