I once worked for an outfit that made us wear USAF wings on our pickle suits.
That was a huge source of embarrassment to me as I felt wearing military wings on a civilian flight suit was inappropriate....and personally insulting as I was an Army Pilot.
A point to be considered.....it is not the fact you earned the Wings ...but what you did with them after you got them that matters. Until you have gone "Down Town" so to speak....you were just in training and have not put them to use for what they are designed for.
There are all sorts of Wannabee's....and the definition varies by who is setting the terms of the definition so we should all be a bit careful about holding our nose's well up into the rain. If one kicks that fuss off....there's going to be some very ruffled feathers in the Hen House.
