I know what my Ranger friends will say about the tan vs. khaki berets but what do you think about Cav Scouts having the "new long tab". Personally I don't feel that it should be above the SF but the Rangers, Sapper, and President's One Hundred maybe. Let me know what you think

Then what? Infantry tab? Armor tab? Truck Driver tab?
Tabs are to show special qualification, not MOS. Your "Scout tab" is a shiny little disc with crossed sabres, just like every other MOS that is awarded for graduating AIT has theirs.

I agree with you Sgt. I believe the "Tab" should remain a representation of a "skill". My crossed rifles and blue cord are enough for me.

Ok here is something, infantry has there blue disk and cord. What special thing did that Infantry guy do to get awarded that? Engineers has a SAPPER tab and for what? As a 19D they made us go to EIB, we passed with first time go (to easy) but was told we couldn't wear it because we where 19D. I had to get SAPPER qualified to run the demo range, Again I got a first time go with no studying. Now for 19D we have a spur ride, land navigation (day and night), road march, shooting, Badley Gunnery Skill Training, range card, PT test, Vehicle Identification, Call for fire, MILIOS Plugger drills, tactics, First Aid, demo, and a 20 km road march. I earned my Spurs (Gold and Silver), Stetson and Sabre. Do 19Ds do more than most MOSs? Yes, so why not a Recon tab

As I was always busting my rump while my medic friends sat in hummers with A/C following us in case any of us went down (which we never did even if we did get jacked up) made me angry on the marches. You think a cord or something along the lines of a recon tab. Such is the life of 19D's

If a recon tab were to be awarded I feel it would be worthy for successful completion of RSLC, but not for just being a 19D.

Because its nothing special. You can go to Ranger school and get your tab. Recondo had a patch. That was a real school. Maybe then.

I think active duty people on RallyPoint should get their own tab! Only best of the best here!!!

*** WARNING *** The following was posted by a shmuck who actually thought this was true. Thank god for squared away SNCOs
I'm like 1LT John Martin, just a "Regular Guy". It's always great to see soldiers earn a mark of distinction they deserve. Is there an "order of precedence" for tabs" other than, "mine's longer than yours"? I can see where longevity of the SF tab being the BMOC for all these years will have the SF community up in arms, but things like this are unfortunately left to the striped suit mafia to decide. If I had to wager money, I'm pretty darn sure that a review of distinction tabs and their governing regs will be shortly forthcoming.

"as with knives, dull is more dangerous than sharp... "
Then in that case Cpl (Join to see) we better start issuing 2LTs sharpening stones and teach them how to use them.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but how can you say that "Cav Tab" should be below the Special Forces Tab but, maybe, above a Ranger Tab, which are both awards (qualification tabs), as opposed to what is really a part of a unit patch.
Back in the day when you could only wear one tab on your uniform, there was great debate about which the wearer was more proud of (if qualified as both Ranger and Special Forces), the SF tab or Ranger tab. I had several friends (mostly NCOs) who had been awarded both and, without exception, they chose to wear the Ranger tab. In law enforcement, we would call that a "clue"...Just sayin.... :-) :-)

COL Burleson, You are correct sir. Ranger tab rules. It appears that my sense of humor has confused my intent and lead many astray. However sir you have somehow successfully navigated my dim witted attempt of some drollery and arrived at what I was really asking. SF vs Ranger tab. Will the real top tab please stand up.

the cavalry has payed dearly in blood serving this country in every major war and then some. the cavalry paved the way for settling the west of course we cavalry men deserve our own tab and beret.
