Why do some users have pilot wings by their names while others have NFO wings and still other have none? How do you get them if you don't have them? Thanks.

Users with Naval Aviator wings by their names are Naval Aviators.
Users without Naval Aviator wing by their names are not Naval Aviators.
Users with Naval Flight Officer wings by their name are Naval Flight Officers.
Users without Naval Flight Officer wings by their name are not Naval Flight Officers.
Users get their wings once they have wings, as in wings of gold.

Thanks but I guess I was asking how the computer knows whether or not you actually are an aviator, nfo, etc? How would one go about adding them once they are?

Those who have them next to their name have been through flight school and are winged in real life.

edit: Tom beat me to it...

The winged guys can request them the same way they request access to the private forums (user CP and then down to group memberships) and then the mods approve the request.

Oh ok guys thanks. Im kinda lost with this whole blog thing but am attempting to learn the ropes as this seems to be a valuble source of information. I appreciate any advice you can give this poor prior-enlisted 0311 in his quest to become an F/A-18 Pilot. Thanks.

While many of us use AW as a vehicle to pontificate, it's a forum, not a blog. Welcome aboard! :D

I will do my best to NOT SUCK and make you aviators proud! I will keep you all abreast (if anyone cares) about my candidacy and selection. Thanks for the advice! Semper Fi!
