The solution
The solution to all this is easy.
All aircrew get TWO wings - we change (a la USAF) the centre symbol, suggestions as follows;
G - FJ Pilot (God wanabee)
M - FJ Navigator (knows he's God, but accepts that the Golden arches is calling)
Any truckie aviator - 2 wings with a pic of a pie/balti dish (LMs get a 'trolley')
Helo - pic of a jester (u have to be a fool to fly them)
AAR - petrol pump
Para - crutch (forward thinking)
E3 - obviously a mushroom pie
Nimrod - W or D for wet/dry (so the rest of us stand a fighting chance at understanding what you're on about)
Admin nerds can wear just a big "B" on their pullover.
Suppliers wear a big "S" .... (for stacker)
Engineers wear a big spanner
Air Traffic Controllers wear "FC-wanabee" tag
Fighter Controllers wear "Acrw wanabee" tag
Police Offrs don't need a badge as we can all see those ******s coming
Regt Offrs also don't need one - it wouldn't be visible as they hunch and drag their knuckles on the floor!
In the spirit of EO, did I manage to offend everyone?!
... and Stn Cdrs should wear a flag on their head when they're not in their cars.

WHO BL**DY CARES?
It doesn't deserve six pages of the most whinging and whining contradictory rubbish I've ever had to wade through in all the time I have subscibed to PPrune.

Clearly, Klingon, this subject is dear to the hearts of quite a few, who don't wish to make a fashion faux pas when in uniform. In addition, it greatly amuses those from the other Services who don't seem to worry quite so much about where you sew your merit badges.
That seems to make it seven pages of drivel.

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

There was a lumpy jumpered Eng O in Goose used to wear wings.
Her's was a single brevet with a foaming beer mug.
This was around the time of the big police investigation.

We have been criticising the CAS for not conforming to the dress regs, when can you start a fashion trend, say blue woolly pully over desert DPM and topped with leather flying jacket?

One pictures you sat in Cuba with a US interrogator holding a pistol to your head ... (not a Walther though = no threat there).
"No, please. Not more prune!!?"
ps. How does one "subscibe" to PPRuNe?

threepointonefour, it looks like you can subscribe to pprune.
Look at the heavy yellow menu bar above and click on USER CP.
At the bottom of this message box is another box, Additional Options.
One option is Thread Subscription together with Notofication Type that is defaulted to Do Not Subscribe. Other options are instant, daily or weekly subscription.
Interesting what a throwaway comment can reveal.

Please read through 3.14's post thoroughly and you'll see he's taking the pi$$ out of klingon when he wrote...

I see a proper trend-setter. Somebody just has to get the rule books re-written.

Time flies, Oh Dear it's a sad day when you have to trawl through my old posts looking for some sort of mistakes onto which you can latch in a desperate bid to somehow make yourself look superior when you are losing the argument!
You are no warmer at all I am afraid, but like I said before you may be surprised! what badges would you like me to wear? You have of course only ever worn one badge proudly on your snug fitting, oh so sexy flying suit, haven't you?
I bet you wear yours into supermarkets and strut around the place hoping that someone notices how important and special you are, don't you?
I know this through lots of experience, and yet it still makes me laugh and cringe, Aircrew to a lot of people is all about image, yes they love their jobs and they are professional (most of them) but they like nothing more than being recognised and seen as different (special in their eyes) by others whilst in their Flying suits, with their crap hats and if they have the balls a black leather jacket.
That is of course forgetting to mention the obligatory Gun dog (black Lab preferably) and latest Japanese sports convertable.
You would hate to find out that I was aircrew wouldn't you? keep guessing.

toddbabe may well have a point, I was offered a jolly in a Seaking W a while back and I know I could feel myself getting sexier as I put on the growbag, gloves and bonedome. It was only by chance and good fortune that there were no members of the WRAF around to swoon at my tempory God-like status, grace, wit and charm.
