Talk:United States Air Force Academy Cadet Insignia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Very cool. I am glad to see that someone got the firstie ranks correct. Many people think that C1C/Unranked = C/2LT. Not true! Unranked is thin bar, C/2LT is thick bar. Not that I ever was unranked, of course.

It must've been because the author did a good job learning what was in his Contrails. ;) Tarfu92 15:53, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Additional Insignia

Recommendation for this page: Add other important cadet insignia. Examples: dean/comm list pins, glider solo/IP wings, etc.

I had originally intended to do this (thus the empty "Miscellaneous insignia" section), but haven't had time to hunt down pictures of all of the insignia--particularly the combos that include the AD-pin, which post-date my time there. Tarfu92 15:53, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
My Contrails and my scanner are back home, otherwise I'd pitch in. Hopefully a current dink can help out.
As it turns out, the USAF's Airman web site (www.airman.af.mil) has the merit list insignia, so I put them up. If any current/recent dinks have the current criteria for these awards, please feel free to add. Tarfu92 17:48, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
And the same for all the glider wings. It used to be just solo & IP, now it looks like there are a couple more. See: http://www.airman.af.mil/military/military_4g.htm A current/recent cadet should upload and add the criteria for award. Tarfu92 17:53, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wolfpack Insignia

Also, Wolfpack 5 got a new insignia starting Academic Year 2004-2005. I have a huge .jpg file, but no way to edit it... If anyone wants to mess with it, I'll send it. Astrophysicist 03:28, 26 February 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Group Patches

Recommendation: add cadet group patches. "First Group First." "2nd Group: 2nd to None" etc.

[edit] CS-40

Also, CS-40 Has changed their squadron patch again. They didn't like the one that's on there and they now have a modified version of the original ali baba one.
