Epaulettes

Hey everyone. Looking into getting Epaulettes. I want the gold/yellow bars but when I look online I have an option of either Gold, or Yellow. Which one should I get? Are the bars usually gold or are they usually yellow? Also, where is a good site that I can get professional looking Epaulettes shipped to Canada. Thanks.

Which does your employer specify? How is there a choice - don't they provide them?

Unless you're starting a one man one aircraft op then why the question, and if you are doing this, haven't you better things to worry about?

er... puzzled.

Try the BA look, Platignum bars. You might get confused for a fireman but that might not be a handicap.

As you earn them, your instructor/employer should give them to you.
(Of course, you might get the bill at a later date!)

My bus driver yesterday was wearing them. If I see him again next week, I'll ask him where he got them.

At first i thought that he looked like a pillock, but he drove that bus pretty damn good.

Actually, you might get confused for a fountain pen ...
