Hey fellas,
I have been going through a few posts on the AC Forums trying to figure out if this subject has been discussed before, but haven't found anything. So here is my question:
What is the deal with rank trim for the NCO's? I have seen many photographs where soldiers bear the NCO stripes on they're sleeves, but dont have the rank trim on they're trowsers. Was rank trim for Noncoms more of an option, rather than a requirement? I have been doing corporal for my company for more than a year now; I wear the stripes, but not the trim. How important was rank trim for NCO's below the rank of 1st Sergeant?
Regards,
