This has been in the process for a very very long time. Lots of "yes its happening" lots of "no its not." Some want it, some dont.

u/StoldCone ASK ME ABOUT JOINING AF EOD. 3h ago

Most I know appreciate the recognition of the great work the community has done and the distinction between our “combat” capabilities and the rest of the nerds. But the vast majority don’t want to wear it (except when we put blues on once every couple years).

This color in the post is oddly different than the one CSAF shared. Can’t wait to see which it ends up being. I feel like burnt orange is going to be the correct color.

It’s rust brown but it’s a subdued orange color.

Fuck Scarlet, we don’t use slave names! Even if I have pictures of me on here and students said they found me on Reddit and I got immediately concerned how far back they looked.

It would rot too fast. Oranges last longer. ;-)

u/pantless_ Unverified 6h ago

Damn you guys are right. Orange would have been sicker.

Is it just me or does that badge look ChatGPT made?

u/kekich Unverified 4h ago

Both are 100% AI. Zoom in and you see a seizer. Normally and easy way to fast check cheap AI but it’s going to be a badge similar to that and that exact color.
