Officers, WOs, and NCOs in SF get to do the cool guy stuff while they are on the ODAs. When you go to the ODBs the game is much different and as well as on the Bn staff. The farther one gets from the teams the greater the suck.
I know, and work with on a daily basis, officers that were SF NCOs that went the Officer route and continue to wear their SF tab outside of the SF branch (they are not 18As). They have earned it. The only instances, that I personally know of, of someone getting their tab revoked was due to continuing misconduct and them bringing great shame on themselves, SF, and the Army.
I do know Officers, WOs, and NCOs that left SF because of a myriad of reasons, all on good terms, and still wear their SF tab.
Your source appears to be full of baloney sandwiches.
