Soldiers can do EIB and EFMB, but cannot wear those badges unless they are in that field. I think it would be a good idea to have an expert Soldier/Field badge to display proficiency and expertise in being a Soldier.

Wait, so we want to award Soldiers for being proficient in their basic Soldiering skills? Something that every Soldier no matter what MOS/Branch needs to be proficient at?... Yea how about no, there's plenty of schools out there for you chest candy seekers to go to. Stop trying to award a trophy to everyone!

am I missing something or does it seem all these pogs are upset that we have the EIB and they don't have their own pog ass version. please tell me what would this test consist of? making X amount of shitty food in an hour for a cook? how much paper a paper bitch can type in an hour?

That's what the uniform is supposed to mean. If you wear the uniform you are expected to be a professional soldier, and an expert in your field. Pride comes from within, not from another bauble on ones chest.

It seems the EIB and EFMB have rich history and when reading about them they sound of Noble worth. I understand other MOS's want their own badge or distinguished symbol. But I'd hate to be a private 20 years from now and earn such badge and it say something along the lines, " In 2016 it was then noticed not every MOS has a badge so they made one for all soldiers to have along with their US Army combat patches"....

In 1944 Army Chief of Staff, George C. Marshall initiated the development of an Award to honor the U.S. Army Infantryman. The Office of Heraldic Activity of the Quartermaster General began work on designing a badge that would represent the U.S. Infantry’s tough, hard hitting role in combat and symbolize proficiency in the Infantry arts.

I was really hoping that you were kidding, but I believe you might actually be serious.

If you are in the Army for badges and awards then you are in the wrong career field and need to look else where for a source of income. When Soldiers occupy themselves with what award or badge they get for a deployment or training it really takes away from what you have learned or taught your Soldiers. Just saying
