MARS being renamed?

WTF is a warfare badge?

You know the SWO for the Yanks, the PWO pin for the Aussies and what ever the heck that POS thing is for the Canadian Naval Warfare Officers. I think we made it ugly enough that the Chiefs & PO's will want nothing to do with it! LOL!

Can't find any images online. Any links?

I have it on good authority that the one on the right is the real deal.

What's in the middle, within the maple leaf?

I'm pretty sure its a ship (looks like a 280, but not sure) with an anchor? What ever it is its gawd awful.

I can't even see it properly in that image. I do miniature modeling as a hobby and I've learned over the years to judge the miniature in real life not from photos. So I'll reserve judgment.

What do C&POs have to do with this ?

Coxn's wanted a pin as well. From what I've been told.

What I will say about the pin is why TF do we have to slap a friggin maple leaf on every single god damned badge/patch etc...

Have enough confidence in ourselves to stop labeling everything as Canadian. I know its a great brand that leaf, but it's a terrible reflex.

I would agree with that.

By the dress manual, if we wanted it to take precedence over other badges, it needs a crown 😉

It needs more swords and guns. I don't feel aggressive enough wearing it 😁

Merci for the info.

Cannons or something... or an angry chinook salmon (wearing a crown).

It needs more swords

If we're down to using a sword in anger on a warship, something has gone very wrong (or very right).

A better picture. Its a shield with an anchor on it, with waves to the side. They are already calling it "The moustache".

We suck.

I respectfully disagree. I think it's less weird than the RN "seahorse" one.

You are attempt is noted but politely rejected. It looks absolutely horrid. We should have gotten some trekkie to design it.

Where is that picture from anyway?

 

[Humphrey Bogart]

It doesn't look as bad when you put it on the uniform. I just think it needs more "warfighter" vibe.

It feels a bit too close to a civilian airline pilot badge.

What qualifies one to wear it? Do you have to demonstrate the ability to grow a proper moustache?
