Name tags as a gift
Winging, a first squadron, a promotion, a change of command, a retirement. A name tag with their wings and their name is the gift every aviator actually wears.
Moments it fits
- Winging and graduation. The first tag with the new wings on it.
- Promotion. Fresh tags with the new rank: one for the suit, one for the jacket.
- Change of command and farewells. A squadron gift, the same tag for everyone or one for the boss.
- Retirement. Their final rank and wings, for the shadow box or the jacket they keep wearing.
Getting the details right without asking
- Branch and wings. Pilot, flight officer, aircrew or flight surgeon. A photo of their current tag or uniform shows it.
- Name as they wear it. Initials or first name? Call sign? Copy their current tag.
- Rank. Use the new rank for a promotion gift.
- Colors. Not sure? Each branch page starts on the most common colors for that branch.
Each tag is $25; most people give two (suit and jacket). It often ships the next business day.
