However, as I said earlier, no Infantry Warrant Officer wears a Trade Badge.

Wayne...I saw it with my own eyes. All our Instructors sitting at table saw it. It was in the gold "bullion" material the same as all DEU insigniae.

I don't think, anyway, that this would be classed as a trade badge, rather an appointment, perhaps?

I'm sorry you missunderstood Jon, I'm not doubting what you saw, but the MWO's authority to wear the badge.
The lower right sleeve is the domain of your qualifications.
"Bayonnet"= qualified Infantryman
"Crossed Rifles"= qualified with his personal weapon for that year.
"WO, MWO, CWO"= None of your effen buisiness, I'll ask the questions around here!

Cheers
