Pink Ribbon

Those kind of "awards" should go the way of the dodo bird.

Its still widely used in the military. I point to the Navy still pinning on aviator wings on a submariner officer who breaches the sub accidentally.

Define "widely used." And, it's a giant leap between somebody in the Navy possibily doing this and being able to say that "the Navy" does it.

I've never served on a submarine but even as a young Marine I had heard of this tradition. So I believe "widely" is the appropriate word.

We've all 'heard' of CAP member trolling for salutes on military installations, so does that make it widespread?

Clearly it is, which is why CAP has Grey Shoulder Boards. 

Seriously, I do get your point. Let me ask you this... do you know what a Shellback is?

Oh I definitely know what a shellback is. I earned mine almost 20 years ago.

Back in my day we had the Royal Order of the Broken Crutch.  To a member who obtained a boo boo or ouchie. No one every complained.

A good friend of mine earned a Corregated Tin F$&@ Up Medal (CTFUMDL) in Vietnam from the rest of his Ranger team for misreading a map and calling in artillery on their own position instead of on a hill across the valley.

Bless their hearts. My Unit 'fragged' people for less than that, "in-country" YMMV

As pointed out, what is done between adults, is different then what should be done between adults and cadets.

I'm not sure how I got it into my head that this was given to a cadet. WIWAC, the worst performing squad during inspection had to carry around a pink boot as punishment until the next meeting, including weekend activities. Guess I had a flashback.

Not you, the OP.

There was a pink belt that has been referenced here as well, some encampment or other used to do it.

Correctamundo.

Some things that happen is embrassing and I would be ashamed to see see it on 60 Minutes or 20/20.

What's a "lemmig?"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemming

- "Lemmings are small rodents, usually found in or near the Arctic, in tundra biomes. They are subniveal animals, and together with voles and muskrats, they make up the subfamily Arvicolinae (also known as Microtinae), which forms part of the largest mammal radiation by far, the superfamily Muroidea, which also includes rats, mice, hamsters, and gerbils."

The term "lemming" usually is meant for those who follow along blindly. Lemmings are known to throw themselves off cliffs because their leader did.

A meme based on a Disney nature film.

Oh, a lemming!  That's what I had thought but didn't want to assume.

Oh, kinda  like the senior leadership of CAP, and several posters here.

Those of you answering Cyborg's question re Lemmigs... Note the spelling!

He knows what a Lemming is, but asked what a Lemmig is... I think he forgot to include the Sarcasm label.
