Someone sent me this early this evening. Has anyone heard of this? Naval Surface Warfare badge, 3 types including a separate one to denote command of a warship?
Doing some prep work for a CofC. I took a look thru 265 to find the drill movements for the "passing of the Colours/Swagger stick" (we are doing a CofA and CofC at the same ceremony).

There's a possibility of a posting to 17 Wing APS 2021 for me, but likely as IR.
