Kind of silly to put a ground team badge on a flight suit name tag isn't it?

Ok, rip the wings off of everything but your bags.  >:(

If I were to buy the Utility Uniform, you can bet I'm putting my GT badge on the ASNP.

I don't think its asking too much for a uniform meant for flying to basically have flying-related emblems on it.  While you can wear your BDU with wings on it to fly in the airplane, there are very few ground team missions where a flight suit is appropriate to wear.

Well I don't mind the GT badge on it, but it should be a secondary (small) badge and off to the left. The wings should be the primary badge and larger and to the right. This is a flight uniform after all.

The argument for flying uniforms not having GT badges is pretty silly. You probably have wings on your BDUs.

How about a triple threat name tag - Wings, GT emblem, and IC emblem?   ;D

I wear dual cools, and it helps my cred a little bit at the ICP when you can see I'm both a pilot and a GTL.

It's also pretty silly that the AF puts any of the qualification badges on their nameplates, but they do. Earn it, wear it.

I guess my initial reaction when I first posted this was that it just looked "strange" / "cluttered".   Is this "common" Air Force practice to have multiple things on a name tag?

Their model does, in fact, look cluttered. I don't like it. The ones I have are the Wings over GTL badge, centered. The GTL badge is a little smaller then it probably should be, but still looks better then that.

I also wear a combo of observer wings over a GT badge on mine, but it doesn't look junky like that.  The supplier I used puts the wings directly above the other badge.

The common layout for dual aeronautical/specialty badges (i.e. pilot and jump wings) is pilot wings on top, jump wings or specialty badge on bottom. Only chaplain's badge above wings. Usually no more than two badges on the name tag.

'Pocket rocket with toilet seat' (missile badge with ops designator) is usually set off to the left, as is the AF command emblem for sitting commanders. (Graduated commanders do not wear the command embem on a fight suit name tag.) Name badges can be made larger than the standard 2" X 4" (usually 2-1/2" or 3" X 4") to accommodate multiple badges.

Some AF cloth name badges will include the squadron emblem set off to the left; in this case only one wing is worn.

I wouldn't buy the Vanguard abortion.

About as silly as putting flight wings on BDUs...

I think that's his point.

Remember that this leather name plate is also authorized for the black A2 jacket and the blue flightsuit.  It's not just for aircrew.

I was hoping that was the case.
