Badge

edit

There is an additional badge on Livingston's right chest that I wasn't able to identify 100%. I'm pretty sure it's French, but without an image, I didn't list it. bahamut0013wordsdeeds 14:31, 30 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

(copied from user talk:bahamut0013) the winged badge on MajGen Livingston's right breast is the Vietnamese Master Parachute Badge. It's recognisable by the bronze device similar to the palm device on the Cross of Gallantry [the senior badge has a star and the basic badge has no device]. What is strange is that it's worn on his uniform at all as any breast insignia other than pilot/navigator wings are prohibited on a Marine uniform under MCO P1020.34 Paragraph 4002 but perhaps generals are allowed some leeway?

Perhaps regulations have changed in the intervening years, or perhaps he just didn't know/care. In any case, I can't seem to find a good image to use for display. bahamut0013wordsdeeds 11:37, 9 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
