The Army times is reporting that NCOs won't wear chevrons and stripes on their berets.  Army NCO rank insignia had been authorized in a Jan 7th order implementing NCO of the Year initiatives.  

The policy change was to allow NCOs to wear rank insignia on the beret flash is in a list of key initiatives titled “Pride in Service”.  

The SMA, Sgt. Maj. Kenneth Preston said the beret policy should not have been included in the Army operations order.  Sgt. Maj. was clear on why senior NCOs did not agree with the policy. “The noncommissioned officer is loyal to their unit and loyal to their organization as opposed [to] being loyal to themselves, and that’s how it was being viewed putting rank on the beret. It’s not about me, it’s about my roles and responsibilities as a noncommissioned officer to my unit and my organization" Preston said.  He also said it would be contrary to long-held tradition.
