Is the badge only for current NCOES Instructors, or is it for former NCOES Instructors as well?

It will be retroactive two years from the date of Tradoc Regulation 600-21.

When I was an AIT Instructor we had Instructor badges. It was just a cheap piece of plastic with the Logistics Training Department's DUI and the word Instructor as well as the MOS we instructed inscribed onto it. I think it's a great idea. Recruiters and Drill Sergeants get it. So should Instructors and AIT Platoon Sergeants. The Instructor/AIT Platoon Sergeant is NO different than the duties and responsibilities of a Drill Sergeant. I have a sneaking suspicion that's why it was approved.

Nevermind…apparently AIT Instructors were once again given the middle finger. Only NCOES Instructors? Seriously??? So they're now trying to say that being an Instructor in an NCOES school is above that of an AIT Instructor/PSG? I can tell you from experience, it's much HARDER to take care of 60-90 Soldiers brand new to the Army than it is to seasoned professional NCO's.

Last I heard, it was only going to be for instructors in the NCO Academies.  Sounds good in theory.

Correct. It's NCOES instructors only...

I’ve been around both sets of personnel (NCOES and AIT) sorry, but NCOES instructors have it WAAAAAY easier than AIT Instructors both in terms of hours required and difficulty as AIT personnel are dealing with brand new Soldiers who don’t know anything vs. seasoned NCO’s who’ve been around the block.
