if Medical & Dental officers will have to cut the acorn nuts off their Corps insignia. In fact, why NOT get rid of all the line/staff officer insignia? Aren't they "confusing" as well? no?
Officers already have designators, yes? Like 1100..or...whatever? similar to the Navy Occupation Specialty that "rag hats" (anyone else recall that term?) will have.
I am happy to report - the "Save the Ratings" petition has hit the 101,000+ mark within the 30 day period! This doesn't mean the ratings are restored; it simply means that "someone" higher up in the food chain will examine the petition, etc. It's a start, at least. Stay tuned for the next exciting chapter.
I have to admit, I did NOT think the petition would reach the 100K mark. I'm glad to see it has! Now pardon me while I dine on some well-done crow.
