Nope, no badge for me! But I did get a ribbon for surviving basic! Seems like they are trying to make medals/ribbons worthless. Don't want the little darlins to get their feelings hurt cause everybody else got one and they didn't. Now I don't see anything wrong with giving out badges/medals or what ever for your Specialty, but they SHOULD NOT make it look like something that DOES mean something, Like the SEAL badge, or Purple heart or Bronze star... you get my drift. For Crying out loud, my uncle got a Purple heart in Vietnam cause he got stung by a scorpion!

Great to hear about you daughter. I guarantee she has and will continue to earn her badge.
