Stultus Maximus posted:It's still pretty dumb. Though at least it's something for the top motards instead of given to everyone who passes boot camp like the Army and AF ribbons. Most ribbons are dumb. I as one sailor have a negligible impact on if I will ever get a Battle E, MUC, etc. At least this one is more like an award and they have to do something to get it. Also the maximum number they give out is like 3% of the graduating recruits so it's certainly not going to be common. The only thing wrong I see with this is evidently former boot camp honor grads (didn't realize that was a thing) aren't allowed to wear it, which seems like an oversight or something.

First I've heard of it. Top 3% is a small number, it'll just be the snitch toolbags anyways. But if they actually take into account physical fitness then I guess that's about accurate. But still my only complaint is that it's not retroactive and that I feel like it'll slowly becom watered down and then if you weren't a shitbag you get it

They're just going to give it to the chicks with big tits so they can cop a feel while pinning it on. At least that's what I would do.

Some dickhead USAF Lt came up with the brilliant idea that air battle managers (AWACS specifically) needed a second pin-on ceremony for our wings, which we get about 2-3 months after our controller badge. The controller badge comes after almost a year of training, the wings after 8 loving flights to orient you to doing the controller job on an airplane. It became a whole big thing with a 1-star pinning on the wings, etc, and nobody going through it gave a drat except to be pissed off that they had to organize it and break out the dress blues again. The first one was an accomplishment. The second was a stepping stone in a long training pipeline that wasn't even done until a month+ after wings.

I'm always a big fan of "If the awardee, awarder and audience don't want to be there, don't do it" The only time I'd opt for a ceremony is if it gets people out of work. Thats also the only time the junior sailors (or myself) give a poo poo.

I'm sure somebody in here has worked in a space that requires numerous badges and has a set up that holds at least 3-4 badges securely (but not requiring you to click open a case and close said case) and maybe even blocks hackers or whatever the industry term is from stealing your information from afar? Suggestions?

Honestly it's not a concern unless someone runs up to you, rubs their phone/device on your chest and runs away yelling "I've got the codes!"

Suggestions? I've got one somewhere that's similar to this. I had four various badges in there, but only one had to show, the others were all NFC badges and worked fine. There are also copper-lined card sleeves if you're paranoid. It depends if you're displaying, and if you have to tap/swipe.

He thought it best to not give the CO a citation that was almost a year old.

Problem is I have to display one, and swipe at least 2 others. The one you linked only holds 2, and one of the tap ones is much thicker compared to the others. It's like 2 in one.

It's hard to explain, but once you're out of that community the Navy is a totally different place. Don't get me wrong, stupid poo poo is still pretty rampant but there is not nearly as much vile, abrasive, soul-sucking, back-stabbing bullshit amongst the wardroom (and the mess for that matter). Try and drop a lat transfer package?
