jshorter Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Hi Nick! Thanks for the info!! Every one that I've seen seems to be of some age, so I assume they were no longer awarded after a period of time (end of WWII?). Do we know if that is the case? Also, can you tell me what the reverse says? Finally, you know what the next two questions are going to be... Thanks a bunch again! Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jshorter Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Thanks again, Nick! Were these worn on the uniforms as the other proficiency badges? I haven't seen any photos with them being worn... Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) Since this is navy badge - it should be worn under right pocket (or simply lower right part of uniform). But you are right about photos - no evidence in sight I suspect that this badge was cancelled somewhere around 20s ...
