From a personal perspective, I understand that some badges in certain configurations don't look as good, or that when you have four, the collar blocks two of them.<br /><br />So, why have the reg if it's going to be disregarded? Has the Army shot itself in the foot? 2015-09-02T01:16:58-04:00 CPT Private RallyPoint Member 934145

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Badges have always had a priority placement, it is not new. Problem is that leadership isn't well versed in this and therefore ill equipped to make on the spot corrections. More on the spot corrections would be the right way to go. Fix the individual and teach them what is right.
