Recognizing the need for an award for troops assigned to headquarters units during combat operations, the G.A.R. today announced the approval of the Combat Briefing Badge, or CBB.
"People don't realize that being in a major headquarters can be just as stressful as going on patrols or convoys," said Republic Naval Commander Dick Hertz. "When you're briefing that many General Officers, your career can end in a heartbeat. And it can happen to anyone at any time, not just combat arms soldiers."
G.A.R. statistics note that briefing personnel are more likely to suffer career-ending incidents in rear areas than Clone Troopers in the field. "This just reflects that reality," said G.A.R. spokesman Major Paynein Theash. “On the plus side,” Major Theash continued, “at least we don’t have any general who kill people who bring them bad news.”
The award ranks in precedence below the CIB and CAB, but above the EIB and PowerPoint Ranger tab.
The criteria for the award is still under discussion, but preliminary guidance authorizes the award for 30 days of continuous briefings of officers at least two grades higher than the briefer without incident while serving in a theater of operations in which the awardee is eligible for hostile fire and hazardous duty pay.

It is about time that our HQ personnel receives an award. Excellent idea.
Interesting badge though.
I agree with cooltopten. It does look like an exam badge, but nonetheless it was time someone took the initiative to reward those men and women.
You totally lost me after the words:
Combat Briefing........
sorry, my mind wanders...visions of what combat breifs look like.
teehee.
I certainly hope that everyone gets what they deserve.

Merly

Just came by to let you know that I no longer am blogging as turboslut. Please visit http://cocainetongue.blogspot.com/ to see the new me. I promise to be more open on this private blog. xxxx
This post was familiar somehow. Oh, that's right, I read it last month.
So.....since you haven't posted in so long, are we to assume you are busy qualifying for this badge?
This post only serves to remind me of how long it's been since I blogged.
It's been so long since I've been here but it seems like I never left! LOL
F*ck man!
Where are you?
Stormtroopers are never reliable.
Absolute Space-Junk.
If you had to punch out a cardassian after he stole your mouse during an unexpected assault on your headquarters, then fine; you've earned the award.
If you had to work out a presentation on tractor beams and it made you cry a little bit; go home.
Get discharged.
