Why not have something different; something that fits our reality and needs and sets us apart from the real military?

I have suggested quasi-AFROTC in the past...to much flame and consternation.

I haven't found any equivalent yet for FO or General grades.

Oh, Navy style boards.

[Phil Hirons, Jr.]

Silver Naval / CG Officer pattern? 

So switch to the traditions of the sea related services?

Those of us in the aviator combo would look even more like airline pilots.

[SARDOC]

You could use those...but even services that use the Striped insignia still use the rank devices that we currently use as well.

Maybe VG could embroider the Propeller above the Stripes in the same fashion that you would see navy Line Officers with the Star and Coast Guard officers with a Shield.   

Also, in what CAP corporate Uniform would warrant the wear of shoulder boards?

[The CyBorg is destroyed]

Oh, Navy style boards.

No, Air Force ROTC.

The Navy doesn't have trademark on shoulder board rank.

Thank you but no. Prefer the status-quo. At 58, too set in my ways to see another upheaval...

Too darn funny!

In the Force... strong you are.

[SARDOC]

^^^ It would be funnier if it wasn't also true.

A degree has no bearing on leadership potential.  Being a Marine makes you a leader.   There..... I said what everyone else was thinking.  You can thank me later you bunch o' nasty Squids, Army Dogs, Air Swine and Shallow water Coasties!!!

To the vast unwashed masses, aka the public, those are Navy boards. They do not have a hint of a clue what AFROTC is or wears.

The USAF tried Sleeve stripes in the early 1990's. After everyone bought them, the CofS was replaced and the first order of the new CofS was to get rid of the sleeve stripes. Besides which, the cost of those stripes is about $10 each, plus every time one gets promoted, you wind up having to remove and replace them. Check VG's prices for Coast Guard or Navy Shoulder Board or sleeve grade. VERY EXPENSIVE.

How about Star Trek ranks instead?

We got Klingons off the starboard bow, Capt'n!

Boldly going forward 'cause we can't find reverse.

Just so I don't have to wear the red shirt...

Sorry, the new 39-1 says you have to wear a maroon shirt to match the "new" grade epaulets.

Right over your head!!!   :clap:

Watch the original Star Trek sometime. 99% of the guys who got killed wore Red shirts.

Oh, it wasn't over my head.  Not at all.  Just trying to put a CAP-spin on it.

If you saw the original proposed World War II CAP ranks, you would think they were props from Star Trek.

Wearing's fine... just don't beam down in one.
