I never knew of the restriction of wearing same category warfare pins, guess I never really thought about it. At one of my previous commands, I do remember seeings a prior enlisted pilot wearing his Air Warfare pin with his single anchor.
... I think it's the reason aviators wear flight suits even on days they aren't flying; they are more comfortable...
Please impart your knowledges on me if I am mistaken....
Aviators wear flight suits as much or more so for the fact they are aviation specific. No one else wears a flight suit but aircrew.
Actually, guys on LCACs wear flight suits too.

Pretty sure they also rate crew rest (at least the operators)...and LCACs are pretty cool even if they use a lot of gas and can't carry nearly as much as an LCU.
Yup, knew that but forgot. Still, they do "fly".Actually, guys on LCACs wear flight suits too.
Sounds like something an LCAC guy would say.
I have been looking but I can not find the message that moved the Aircrew pin to the Warfare group. So currenlty anyone wearing both an Aircrew and EAWS are wrong until the new message comes out. Not really a big deal since it is about to be changed. Has anyone seen the message?

One of the LCAC guys told our OpsO that he flew... Our OpsO looked at him and said "What happens when your engines quit running? You fucking float. Don't compare what you do with what I do."Sounds like something an LCAC guy would say.
Slightly off the original post, but is there any new gouge on whether the SDKs are definitely coming back? I was talking with a family member the other day who retired about a year ago, and she said that she thought they had given up on bringing those back.
Obviously not a major issue, but her info was the opposite of what I've been reading on AW and elsewhere...
