Do you gals and guys wear/have badges? If yes, why and where? If not, why not?

I know people collecting all sorts of badges. Some are really hysterical about badges and some would never ever wear any badge.

In the army aviation we have badges on our flight suits. The badge of the wing of course.  |:)\ And I was very proud as I was allowed (!) to wear mine. It showed you are a member of the “club”.

How about you??? ;D

Most jobs with security access require badges (line guys, airline pilots, etc.)

Require badges? :o

There one can see the home of badges culture. In Europe it is not such a hype.  :-\

I like badges and still have some on my helmet bag. In my younger days I had all sorts of aviation-badges on my jackets. My favourite on comes from the States, it’s the one of the First Cavalry Division. Today I have two of them on my saddle-blanket, the place where they belong to. It looks absolutely cool on that black blanket and many people ask me, where it comes from. The former Austrian-Hungarian Cavalry never had such a good looking badge. ::)

Had a friend who flew Hueys in Nam in the 1st Cav-------------Gives me goosebumps to see the badge again---ah, the memories.
I pray for the soldiers trying to establish peace worldwide, their job is thankless, for the most part.

I did’nt want to touch any bad feelings. Sorry if I did. :-[

You are right, Skygal. I’ve been a soldier too and now my son starts to be one.

I have a helmet bag with a side full of  badges (even if I don´t get to wear a helmet, it looks cool) I've had it for a couple of years now, and I have in it a couple of badges I worn during my soldier time. most visible of which is my country's flag and the badge of the military institute I graduated from. I don't have any badge right now though

Oh, that kind of badge.   :)  I get it. 

I was referring to ID badges.  Most big airports with secured gates require employees to wear them at all time.

Hope your girlfriend doesn't read that.   :)  If she does, it was nice knowing you.
