studies indicated that a large
number of its noncommissioned
officers would not have the op
portunity for promotion by the cut
off date. Since these men are
for the most part long term ca-
teer soldiers DA felt they should
not be forced to take the bust in
title and insignia and so changed
the regulation.
Paragraph 130 of AR 670-5 has
been changed to read "Noncom
missioned officers in grades E-5
E-6 and E-7 on 31 May 1958
are authorized to continue to wear
the insignia and utilize titles ap
propriate to these grades on that
date until involved in personnel
actions which result in promotion
or reduction."
