Scare badges are fine but I can honestly say that not one person I ever met saw an Airborne wing or Bullwinkle bage and cringed in fear. Forget the perception issue. Think of it like this.

1. I get to jump out of planes. (I put it first for a reason)
2. I get to get dogged without purpose for 10 days, learn how to tie shit up and ride in a helicopter. After which, they tell you it was the 10 hardest days of your life. (Its a lie)

Jump out of planes, get lied to.....what do you think? 8)
Hey, I rode in a helicopter and man those canvass seats and flak jackets are really a pain in the ass. At leastI didn't get an air cushion ride on the way down.
It's only air-cushioned 'til you hit the ground DG. 8)
