Miniature or Regular?

[Fly Boy]

For those with wings, which do you prefer on the AF Blues? Miniature or Regular size?
Also, are there even cloth glider wings? Looking on Vanguard they do not appear.

Thanks, Fly Boy

Miniature for both wings and Ground badge, bear in mind they should match mini/mini, full/full.

The place that got C&D'ed used to sell cloth glider wings, now that their inventory has been assimilated ..

I wear full size wings and Senior Ground Team badge.

While it's legal to wear regular size on a shirt and mini on the blues, you're best off with going with the traditional:  blue shirt takes a miniature while the service dress jacket takes the regular (full) size.

Traditionally in the Air Force we wear mini wings on the shirt and the bigs on the service dress.

Officers normally wear mini wings with no ribbons on the blues shirt while enlisted wear ribbons and I've seen both minis and bigs there so...

Just don't be a tool and wear Regular size wings on Mess Dress. Yes we know it's authorized, but it screams "look at me, I'm a pilot!!!"

What THAT says is "Look at me!  I can't read and can't find my wallet with both hands and a flashlight!"  Please tell me that you've never seen that and you just made it up.

Seen it at a military wedding I was a participant in.

Oh I most certainly do.  Death to the Triangle Thing!  Seriously, it looks like a joke

Considering the 1549 shirt has been gone for about 30 years, I'm surprised anybody remembers it.  For those who don't, it was a long sleeved shirt that was the same color as the pants.   The Coast Guard Aux still has one like it.  In the USAF I wore mine to Nav school at Mather AFB in 1980 but I was the only one, and it passed from existence only a year or so later.

The light blue shirts currently used sag badly if you wear full size wings on them.   I'm actually surprised badges and wings were never made out of plastic.  I have never even seen unauthorized ones like that.

I loved my 1549 shirt! I wore mine as much as possible. It pained me to give up wearing it. I was the same way about the USN version of that uniform.

I wore a regular sized metal GT badge on both my service dress and service uniforms... The mini ones didn't come out until later.  I did not think just the regular sized GT badge looked too big on the shirts, but that was all I wore.  Had seen a lot of the mini wings and regular specialty insignia mix BITD also.

The CG just came out with a new Winter Blue shirt that has sewn in military creases.  I have been meaning to get one, but it's kind of out of season now.

Everybody I've seen in the AF uniform with just the crab claw AFSC badge wears the full size.  I don't think I've ever seen a mini on anything unless they were wearing them with the mini wings.

Probably because the miniature speciality badges were discontinued about 10 years ago.

I think the only two sizes offered for AFSC badges are regular and 'mid-size'; don't think I've seen miniatures of them.
