Flight Officer Rank for Aviator Shirt

[O-Rex]

Maybe someone touched on this on another thread, but:

I remember when the Aviator shirt/Blue pants combo came out, someone complained that there were no FO rank epaulet slides to go with it.

FYI: I was looking through the Vanguard site, and came across AFROTC rank under the "Schools" category, and found that items 8421100, 8420900 and 8420700 correspond to FO, TFO and SFO.

. . .  .in case anyone was looking for it.

Thank you!

This is great.  Thanks O-Rex!

Keep in mind however, that the the ones pictured depict "small" epaulet slides.  Correct me if I'm wrong, (please) but doesn't that mean they're intended for females?

Here are the regular sized ones:
FO- 8420000
TFO- 8420200
SFO- 8420400

I need to find this out as well as Stefan is taking the step to SM (FO) on his next home pass. Actually, it probably doesn't matter since he wears blues.

Naw, those were just the first ones I found: I came across it totally by accident.

You are right about the large size ones.

Thanks!

Except that AFROTC slides are black and the new Corporate Service Uniform requires blue slides.

Vanguard does make Civil Air Patrol FO-SFO epaulet sleeves/shoulder marks for the "TPU".  If they're not on the website, call and ask.  They have them.

Just before you posted, I called a buddy who was an AFROTC cadet: He also said "no-can-do."  You're absolutely right.

Didn't know about the blue epaulets: someday we should start a thread on "secret passwords for Vanguard..."

Haha, seriously... you just have to "know" what Vanguard has available because they don't have handfuls of it on the website.  What actually has made it onto the website catalog may be in the wrong category and/or have no picture and/or be a different price than the identical item on the Armed Forces side of the Vanguard website.

Wow, good catch.  My eyes apparently aren't recognizing the difference between navy and black today.
Good thing I wore white socks!
