Thanks! My wife isn't too happy about it, she has to redo all my sew on rank! :P
AC
Well, there's incentive to learn to do it yourself! ;)

I still haven't sewn on my Captain's bars. It's not that it's too painful for me to take off the Spaatz diamonds... I just haven't had much of a reason to wear BDU's lately. :)
Sew them under the collar.
I might make fun of you but it doesn't mean I won't be jealous.
There was an AF 1 star a few years ago at ILWG Summer that was a triple diamond and wore a mini set in between his button flap on the blues. Was pretty interesting a guy that can say he's been there done that is still proud enough to wear CAP cadet insignia earned well before his star.

I've heard of this done enough to think that given the limited pool of individuals with said insignia, it's relatively common.
I know of a single diamond instance here in UT. I decided not to upstage him. >:D
Congrats on the Promotion. I am just waiting TIG for mine. Oh, and I sew my own stuff on. Have since scouts. :D

Thanks. Well, my wife did alterations professionally, so she thinks she is retired! >:D
Well, the TIG requirement was a long wait for me too! Wondering if I would get it.
Just remember to keep your LT shoulder boards for your next promoting friend/squadron member. The bars for promotion should be hand me downs from a friend, in accordance with the prophecy....Congrats!

+1 and congrats!
I tried saving my insignia to give to others coming behind me in promotions, but only problem is that when I was a Lt we wore the berry boards. I told one guy that it was for a probationary promotion to see how he would do as a Lt before he got to wear the gray boards. Didn't go over too good. >:D ;D

I have them in a Vanguard plastic bag, ready to be passed down, like the Captain rank I got from our External AEO when she made Major.
My train pulled into the platform under the leaves 3 years to the day it departed. .. now it's four more years and NSC.
Congratulations!
Nine months to go before I trade in my railroad tracks to golden bottlecaps and having farts and darts on my bus driver cap! And like some former cadinks - especially those in the 'Diamond Club' (cadet major and higher) - I wear a miniature cadet major insignia under the lapel of my service dress jacket.

2 weeks til my gold oak leaves

Congratulations!
In the army we called them "First Lieutenant, second award." All joking aside, wear them with pride. Personally, I thought they looked better on BDUs than any other rank insignia. Keep moving and learning!
