It's about time that someone recognized that senior enlisted personnel may have something to contribute. Those thus far entrusted with membership on the "supreme" councils appear to need some fresh ideas

I think it's a smart move. These people have worked hard for their position and should be set apart.

As a former Senior Enlisted Leader at the Nominative level I would agree. The decision to use an eagle is a bit off putting for me. There are clear choices to elevate from in all of the services. For the Army and Marines sticking with the star as the foundation and advancing on that would have made sense. Again I do fundamentally agree that physical recognition should be clear when the enter a room or walk down a street. Congrats Team.
