The FTO's (Field training officers), SRU (basically SWAT) and a couple of others wear the insignia on their uniforms above their nametags.
But the Dive Team has always been the ******* children not being authorized to wear anything to ID us with the team.
Well we let it drop several years ago and haven't pushed the issue. Today he just did it. He called and the pins are ordered and are to be worn above our nametags and service pins.
Then in the same breath some of us got a promotion. Incert all the cuss words you feel appropriate here. Promotion? I don't want no stinkin promotion. To the tune of Badges, We need no stinkin badges.
I had the stripes a long time ago and gave them up. I want to work the streets not push a flippin desk. What this does is takes all of us with over ten years and puts a stripe on the uniform. The official title, "Senior Deputy". Sense we don't have corporals we will fill that position.
So we get stripes but stay out of the office. YAHOOOOOOO. I could care less. Not that Im not grateful or appreciative I just could care less about stripes. I have bigger stuff to worry about. Like the team;^)
