Do you think we should have a badge for being JFO like the EIB and EFMB?
If so what should the badge look like and if it is to be a EJFO what should the standards be for getting the badge?

Really? Doesn't the Army have enough ribbons and badges?

Personally, I believe the ASI is enough. It's not just a test like the EFMB and EIB. It's a class with tests built in. If this were to become a reality I would say the FO has to become a JFO L7 first, then this additional qualification or testing would occur after as a separate entity.

Why would you have one, when the title of the MOS has changed? Every 13F is Joint Fire Support Specialist of October 2015.

IMHO there is far too much junk on Army Uniforms, lets reduce the clutter, instead of increasing it.
