ES patch question.

[pixelwonk]

yup.

I'm sorry, I keep coming back to the fact that the requirements are for the AWARD of the patch not for the WEAR of the patch.  Two different things entirely.

Yes, and I believe your interperatation is correct, though mine came off with the Wing patch in a de-bling-a-thon.

Pilot and GT badges are permanent awards.

Observer wings, too?

Yes.  Sorry, I should have said "Aircrew wings."

I have been qualified as MO/MS but currently I'm not.  I have my wings on my BBDU's.  I feel that wearing my Wings is wrong.  To me, wearing my wings tells everyone who I meet, that I am a MO and in actuality I'm expired.  I think it is a good question to ask regarding the award and wear of the specific patch/wings.  If someone can produce the regulations on the wear of the award, I would feel comfortable wearing the wings.  You know, maybe this is the same standard as your airborne wings or cib?

They are - its in there, and in the KB.

Once awarded you can wear them for life.
