Canada's the same, with the same wing but the centre symbol being different: maple leaf for pilots, globe and lightning bolt for nav's, 3 bolts for AESOps, and the rest. Unlike the USAF, at least you can see the difference from 10 feet.
I can see the recruiting argument, nobody actually joins to be a Nav...including me
! But the old eyeballs didn't pass muster. Helluva lot better being a Nav, than commanding tanks.
Kinda makes you wonder though, when such a seemingly small matter can cause such an uproar. When our SARTechs were 'upgraded' to a full wing, there was an uproar as well...except from the pilots in SAR work.
By the way, the new RAAF nav wing, is that the one with the southern cross in the centre?
