I think we should be processing orders to promote the meritorious "Chairborne Ranger Badge"
The badge would come in three (3) color finishes: Bronze, silver and gold.
Standards for receipt of such a stellar honor are as follows:
Bronze medal:
1. over 30,000 influence points
2. network of 15 personnel
3. Top 10% of Peer Class
Silver:
1. over 100,000 influence points
2. network of 25 personnel
3. Top 5% of Peer Class
Gold:
1. over 1,000,000 influence points
2. network of 50 personnel
3. Top 1% of peer class

Good luck and GO GET 'EM Guys!!

To maintain consistency with the existing badge structure, SFC Private RallyPoint Member, all you really need is the THROATPUNCH clasp!

I think that all of the DIs at Parris Island have one of these badges. At least the one's that I had did! Hell, I think that it was a pre-requisite that all boots must get hit in the throat on a regular bases. I did many of times.
