Note: The image labeled as the Officer Aircrew Badge is actually the Senior Non-Rated Officer Aircrew Badge.

2.6.2.8. ABMs in authorized 13BXX positions (on or after 1 Oct 99) previously awarded non-rated officer aircrew member badges are considered rated if they attended a Programmed Flying Training (PFT) course that led to the aeronautical rating

For officers not yet awarded a nonrated officer aircrew member badge who completed graduate level FTU course before 1 Oct 99, use the initial qualification check as the basic rating date.

For ABMs previously awarded the basic, senior, or master officer aircrew member badge prior to 1 Oct 99, HARM offices will use the initial standard evaluation qualification check for award of the basic ABM rating, and the same effective date of the nonrated advanced badge AOs to award corresponding advanced ratings on a new AO and update the rating (s) in ARMS.

[edit] ???

The Aircrew Badge is a qualification badge of the United States military that is awarded by all five branches of military service to personnel who serve as crewman on board a military aircraft. The devise is intended to recognize the training and qualifications required by enlisted aircrew of military aircraft. In order to qualify as an aircrew member and receive the Aircrew Badge, such personnel typically undergo advanced training in aircraft in-flight support roles, but not to the same degree as the pilot or senior flight crew.
