The scroll in gold occupies the lower portion of the disc, with its end supporting the tendrils of the wreath. Three golden stars are embossed in the upper portion of the badge. Inscribed on the scroll in Gothic letters is the phrase "AFP Enlisted Personnel of the Year", "GHQ Enlisted Personnel of the Year", "PA Enlisted Personnel of the Year", "PAF Enlisted Personnel of the Year" or "PN Enlisted Personnel of the Year".
