Some have criticized the Army as having too much "flair" on their uniforms. Other people are upset that certain schools don't constitute a badge or tab. What are your opinions on this? For example why is there no SNIPER or RECON tab? Or why would there be Rigger or EOD badges when they simply signify MOS?

Wow, something for the contemporary version of the lot known as "Remington's Raiders". I gotta find me a pewter artist; this could have legs.

That one's frequently awarded to Staff officers who deployed simply so they could get a right-side patch before retirement and deliberately go places where there's "action" until they rate a CAB.

After that, it's back to the rear with the gear and earning the above-pictured badge.

It isn't about bling.&nbsp; Some of the Army's most impressive schools don't award a badge.&nbsp; If you're here for the flair, join the USAF and get some for your MOS.<br>

Yes the Air Force gets carried away with ribbons. When I switched from the Corps (1 ribbon) to the AF I immediately had Four and I didn't do anything but sign a paper. But the Army is a close second for bling!

CPT (Join to see) - "Very true. Just think the Urinalysis Program Coordinator and your Unit Movement Officer schools don't give out badges."
I understand the Navy recently tasked the Navel Aviation department with designing a badge for Urinalysis Program Coordinator certified folks.. I believe they "drew" a draft version of it recently for public discussion and review.
