Hey I saw "WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE" today. Not sure if it was a rerun or not. any way an HM1 was on. He had EAWS above the ribbons and below was something that looked like a caduces with aircrew wings.

Is this a new device given to SAR HM's? It really did look at first like jump wingsbut the lights of the cameras was glaring on it too much.

I got closer up on the screen and it looked like NAC wings with a caduces. Maybe it was jump wings I don't know, very possible.

Guys name was Vironnsy or something like that. HM1 red chevrons definitely EAWS avbove. Can any one tell me if there is an NAC wing specifically for HM's? There never was before.



If I had to guess I would say it was actually jump wings, because the top of the Caduces or what ever appeared rounded but with the glare from the cameras, could not ID it 100%. If there's no new HMNAC insignia then it was jumpwings. Hey, I'm retired I ain't got nuttin to do today.

Start work next week, should be interesting.

No wings have a cauducus on them, not even jump wings.


If they were silver, with a gold middle, and arched, then its the Marine Corps Combat Air Crew Device.

I didnt think so but had to ask. looked like jump wings. The color was undeterminable because of the light. The EAWS was looking gold at times so perhaps they were simply jump wings NON combat.



Wasn't combat aircrew. I know what that looks like and this was not as "squat" looking as those.

OK I'm saying now base don all evidence this was a set of PJ's
