The Reserve Recruiter Badge was an identification badge of the United States Army which was first created during the Second World War. The badge was issued until the 1980s, at which time the United States Army declared the award discontinued in favor of the standard Recruiter Badge used by both active duty and reserve recruiters.
During the years of its issuance, the Reserve Recruiter Badge was authorized for wear while serving a tour of duty as a military recruiter for the United States Army Reserve. The badge was not considered a permanent award, and was surrendered at the completion of duties as a reserve recruiter.
In the modern military, the Reserve Recruiter Badge is considered obsolete. Army regulation AR-600-8-22 prohibits the wear of the Reserve Recruiter Badge on an active duty uniform.
Famous quotes containing the words reserve and/or badge:
“I understood that all the material of a literary work was in my past life, I understood that I had acquired it in the midst of frivolous amusements, in idleness, in tenderness and in pain, stored up by me without my divining its destination or even its survival, as the seed has in reserve all the ingredients which will nourish the plant.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“It would much conduce to the public benefit, if, instead of discouraging free-thinking, there was erected in the midst of this free country a dianoetic academy, or seminary for free-thinkers, provided with retired chambers, and galleries, and shady walks and groves, where, after seven years spent in silence and meditation, a man might commence a genuine free-thinker, and from that time forward, have license to think what he pleased, and a badge to distinguish him from counterfeits.”
—George Berkeley (1685–1753)
