Vanguards latest ugly thingy

[RogueLeader]

I just say the ugliest thing I thought i would never see at scamguard vanguard:



ewwww 

I just hope that this will not become a mandatory item . . . .

[teesquared]

What the heck is it? 

[RogueLeader]

I don't know.  I didn't want to take THAT close of a look at it. . .

[arajca]

It's a lapel pin, not a uniform item. It may be worn on the blazer, if the wearer so desires. I am one who does not.

FTR, I wear a National Fallen Firefighters Memorial lapel pin on my blazer,

[RogueLeader]

Does not desire the lapel pin, the blazer, or both?

I almost threw up when I saw it. . .

[titanII]

Vanguard calls it a "Lapel Pin for 5 Years of Service." They also have one for 10 years. 

[teesquared]

What does the "5" signify?

Oops, never mind.

I saw these already ... this is why I'm pretty much convinced we're SOL, and stuck with TTT..  Just reading the Agenda for the meeting, while I don't agree with half of the reasons they're saying are compelling for using it, they seem rather convinced.

They're concerned there's no recognition, and there won't be as long as they keep changing logos, styles, site themes, etc.

So they'll say "okay, we'll choose this one and stick with it."

"No one knows what the round thing means".. well, educate them.

I would almost consider thinking about buying one if it had a 40 on it. Maybe.

[a2capt]

The higher numbered ones didn't look that bad. I didn't see anything that said 40, 50.. I guess like NCC, so you can adde them up together - you buy multiples of them.

[SarDragon]

Or NOT!

[a2capt]

I know. I was trying to be sarcastic, and missed the right symbols.
That would just look ridiculous ;-)

[The CyBorg is destroyed]

  YECH!

I will not, repeat NOT, use TTT unless ordered to.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with our extant symbols.

[a2capt]

Well, when NHQ is sending awards adorned with them, it's going to take some creative framing to retain the lower half of the thing with the date/signatures and the center piece with TTT plastered on it.

I'm likely to begin a stockpile of vehicle stickers just incase they say at some point in the future as stickers become faded, they'll be replaced with "these".

Excellent idea!

[Smokey]

I plan on stocking up on the round seal stickers and placing them over any triangle thingys that show up on my certificates.

Or maybe I'll print up some of the old command shield (with USAF AUX) to stick over the triangle thingy.

Actually I think the triangle thingy is the sign of the beast!

[Al Sayre]

Yep, that's why they used the equilateral triangle, it holds great significance in black magic, and alchemy.
Also the angles are 60, 60, & 60. 

[SarDragon]

SSSsss...

[jeders]

Vanguard can't even keep this junk straight internally.

The 5 year pin:


The 10 year pin:


I like the 10 year pin.
