Our DD is at VT, and she just came home for break, she was talking to me how big of a day it was at VT for branching. (She has many friends posting their insignia). She was amazed at it all, but she asked me what does a silver disc/button with nothing on it mean?
So can someone tell me. The only thing I could think of was from a ribbons perspective is it meant to differentiate somehow, i.e. with clusters on the ribbon for AD, it has been awarded more than once.
I said I would ask here, so I am asking. She didn't want to offend any of her friends...some have the silver button, and some didn't.
Her friends all got AD, 1 is going MI, 1 is going Tanks, 1 is going Chemical (?), 1 aviation, and 1 going to EOD.
~~~~ Take that with a grain of salt, for multiple reasons. 1. we are AF. 2. She is not in ROTC ----it might be they said that they got something else, but their career goal is XYZ.
