Army EOD can now wear their patch full-time, a move that could help recruitment

That way when they run past you- you know to haul azz too!

Thank you, my friend SSG(P) (Join to see) for making us aware that Lt. Gen. Thomas Seamands, the Army G-1, dated a memo on April 18, 2019 that "authorized full-time wear of the explosive ordnance disposal [EOD] brassard by all qualified EOD techs beginning with its signing. The change is not yet reflected in Army publications, but will show in the next Army Regulation 670-1 update, a Department of the Army official said.
“Previously, the brassard was authorized for wear only while actively engaged in the duty associated with the brassard and identification of personnel was required, such as field operations and event response," William Sharp, an Army spokesman, said.
The EOD brassard serves as a unique visual skill identifier to non-EOD personnel, not only for helping to dispose unexploded ordnance, but also to help recruit."
