I fully intend to buy one...just waiting for permission from the financing department.

III drops

Which raises the question I asked in the chatroom the other night are these meant to represent Pilots Wings or the USCM equivalent of current Airborne Jumpwings/Brevet or both dependent on the wearer?

Which doesn't, of course, alter the fact they wouldn't be worn on headgear!

You know who you are!

While we never laid down any strict rules or 'meaning' to the badge, here are two quotes from Jason (whose original idea it was) during the design process:



Unofficially, I think we liked the idea that it might be pewter wings awarded after first drop; silver after tenth.. or fiftieth.. something like that. (That's drops in the fictional universe of course, not RL.) There's nothing canon here, so it's all open to interpretation.

my opinion is the wongs look quite similar to the british para cap badge, which is in turn awarded similarly as wings would be awarded, and thats my idea for using a set as a capbadge, which looks awesome
