Have you ever seen anyone wearing a Glider badge? How many Soldiers could you ask before receiving the correct answer without the help of a search engine?

I met someone once that was awarded this badge. I had to ask what it was bc I had never seen it or heard of it. Interesting badge. I didn't know they still gave them out. The person I met was a but older.

We didn't have any pilots in ACB-1 WestPacDet and then the pilots in FASU Danang were all flying the unit's COD.

I have one, earned by my grandfather. If memory serves, the school was shut down in 1948, which means 71 years since the final award was presented.

Only ones I’d believe would be the WWII vets.

I've never seen one, personally except from old photos of service members during WW2. it was a unit of men typically assigned to that unit. Those who might wear it: officers/enlisted of those units and (informally) instructors who trained personnel to fly those aircraft.
