* his principal duty title was drill sergeant
* his duty MOS was 31B3X
4. He was ordered to active duty in an Active Guard Reserve status on 19 May 2008 for a period of 5 years, 8 months, and 19 days. He was honorably released from active duty on 2 May 2013.
5. His DD Form 214 for the period ending 2 May 2013 does not show the Drill Sergeant Identification Badge as an authorized award
6. There is no memorandum authorizing the Drill Sergeant Identification Badge in his available records.
7. Paragraph 8-42 of Army Regulation 600-8-22 (Military Awards) states the Drill Sergeant Identification Badge is authorized for successful completion of the Drill Sergeant Course and assignment as a drill sergeant to a training command. The commandant of the Drill Sergeant School will authorize the permanent wear of the badge to eligible personnel by memorandum.
8. Army Regulation 611-1 (Military Occupational Classification Structure Development and Implementation) prescribes the method of developing, changing, and controlling the officer, warrant officer, and enlisted military occupational classification structure. Paragraph 6-7 provides that the skill qualification identifier (SQI) is identified by a one character code and will be used with the MOS and skill level to form the basic five-character MOS code.
9. Department of the Army Pamphlet 611-21 (Military Occupational Classification and Structure) provides authorized career management fields, MOSs, SQIs, additional skill identifiers, and guidance on the use of these codes in the classification of enlisted positions and personnel. Table 11-3 shows SQI X represents drill sergeant.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
Although there is no memorandum authorizing the Drill Sergeant Identification Badge in his available records, the evidence shows he completed the Drill Sergeant Course, he was awarded the drill sergeant SQI, and he was assigned as a drill sergeant to a training command at Fort Leonard Wood, MO, from July 2006 to July 2007. Therefore, there is sufficient evidence on which to base adding the Drill Sergeant Identification Badge to his DD Form 214 for the period ending 2 May 2013.
