Have you ever seen anyone wearing a Glider badge?

The last glider school in the Army completed their training in the late 1940s.

I had friends and relatives that died in wars. I don't like posers.

It's not an award it's a badge. It is no longer issued (was WWII and post era badge, and it is considered a Group 4 badge along with parachutist and air assault), but it is in AR 670-1 for the surviving veterans who are authorized wear. But there may be just a handful of those bad-asses left

I have seen a WWII vet wearing the Glider Badge. Thank GOD we dont do that anymore!

I joined the Army Reserve in 1980. We had a old tough Battalion CSM who joined the 82nd Airborne during the Korean War - but didn't go to Korea. He had Master Parachutist wings and a Glider Badge. He's is the only person I ever met with one. (I also met, on separate occasions, two paratroopers who jumped into Normandy - one from the 82nd and the other from the 101st. How cool is that?!)

Yes I did and have, 1972. No real glider ride, but does a C-119 count? "Shake Rattle and Roll"

I haven't in service but some retired War vets

Having served from 1944-72, I saw plenty of them in the 1945-46 time frame

I have read that the old WWII era glider wings (with the G on the shield) is still currently awarded to Air Force Academy cadets who are glider pilots at that institution. I don’t believe they are worn after commissioning though. I have a set of my grandfathers, who was almost through flight school when WWII ended.

When I was in the 101st, troops that were Airborne(jump school grads) were authorized to wear the Glider patch on their soft hats.
