PADI Patches - Where do you get them and how do you wear them?

[GA Under Water]

Really?

Nice pin/patch there for your avatar.

Do Unit Coins count as "Patches/Pins?

When I was younger my Church gave me a "humble button" It said "I'm Humble" but then they took it away because I wore it. :11:

No, you have to pay extra for them.

LOL i wasn't necessarily refering to the patch as being given away

Thats my old Battalion coin. . .

BTW An old E-7 once told me something that has stuck with me, Just because a troop has an S.F., Ranger and Airborne tab and a rack of badges above his left breast pocket that doesn't make him a good troop.

Uh huh. How about one of these:

AHH The CIB. . . The requirements for alot of the awards is pretty basic. . .

I was more refering to air assault badges etc

I don't disagree with your E-7, I know what he meant by that comment. But shouder patches and badges mean something - military, police, medical, sports, etc.

I simply wear my Divemaster patch on my cap and a Rescue tab on my jacket for identification when teaching.

So... ummm... to those of you who don't wear 'patchs'... how many of you have a collection of t-shirts from dive destinations, "dive t-shirts" in general, shoes with swooshes on em', etc., etc... (hummm... maybe a t-shirt of your favorite wet-suit manuf... ??? ... maybe one that has a nice agressive message on it to advertize how 'bad' ya' are????)

... I contend we ALL wear patches... its just a question of what patch/statement you choose to make... as we used to say in the 60's... "... even non-conformity is conforming..."

Hmm. I've got a dive flag keychain. I have a TDI bumper sticker, but I haven't used it, TDI cap, SSI dive log, lots of T-shirts, but I seldom wear them because they are WAY too big. T-shirts are like momentos to me, more useful if they could be found in smaller women's sizes.

Let's repeat the non-conformist pledge!

One of my favorites.

Do you even remember what beer tastes like? I know they aren't giving you beer to wash down your MRE's.
