Utah Bob,

You're correct in your assumption. In deciding to further make all soldiers the same (much like the black beret), the Army has stripped the SSI. The CSIB has been added to the front, along with tabs such as Ranger, Sapper, SF, etc.. IMHO, more clutter and bling up front instead of leaving well-enough alone.

Casually speaking with hundreds of soldiers about it since its inception, I have yet to find someone who is happy with this idea. YMMV
