With a change in the last number of years from the old TQ system to the QL system to the new and 'improved' DP system, who qualifies for what level of Army occupation badge now? As far as I can tell, there isn't a set standard for them across all trades. The Infantry have extra trade courses (small arms coach) that others don't do, and (from what I have been told) put the crown (level III) occupation badge on completion of thier PLQ. Some trades are remuster only, and begin with a QL5A. Some believe that, as WOs and higher do not wear occupation badges, a 6A qualified Sergeant is entitled to wear the Level IV badge (crown and wreath), even though they have not done the 6B. I know in my trade we completely restructured our reserve trade progression recently, so it's a little up in the air right now.
This issue recently came up at my unit, and I am trying to find any reference that would provide some concrete guidance on this. I have gone through the CF Dress Instructions and the CFAOs with no success, so I thought I'd try here. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Good point for discussion...is the current 4-level system for Army occupation badges broken?
Thanks all,
:dontpanic:
