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!

Not when I was an LT, but now that I'm a dysfunctional veteran...more than qualified.

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.
