All comments with us to the badge on one of the volunteers.
But that is what THIS thread is about! The OP posted the link as an example of what the badge looked like when asking for its meaning. For once a Prune thread has stayed on topic beyond 5 posts!
Back on thread.....didn't JTs get cpl stripes on time promotion and, as promotion to sgt slowed down with the various reductions in force size, didn't it skew the rank structure and mean many cpls were doing a JTs job albeit on a cpls pay but without any of the management/leadership responsibilities.
