I guess you usually do it to use your jacket as a warm shawl while you walk a short distance from your limo to the hotel. Or in my case, from my Toyota to my apartment.

I agree. I also think it looks stupid when I do it but when she does it it looks kind of cool.

Oh man, what would you do? Crippling the nuclear flag ship patrolling South China Sea or stop the spreading of the outbreak on board? It's worst than Kobayashi Maru....

His crew answered that question when he was leaving the ship.
Can anyone interpret the nametag on his jacket? Are those pilot's wings?

If you ask the opinion of the crew... Im sure they would have chosen a months leave in Manila... You cant alert the world via unsecured email.. or the National press that one 11th of the US carrier fleet is effectively out of service.. it creates a dangerous void in National/World Security.. what he did was wrong.. There is a chain of command and a secure network for communications of that nature.

Breaking news, Acting Naval Secretary Modly has just resigned, what goes around comes around.
Pretty sure those are pilot wings. Thought I saw a Hornet patch somewhere else as well. There are a few places now that make the embossed kind of name tag, but originally it was exclusive to the Tipsy Gypsy.

Always nice to see that our servicemen are so friendly.
Pilot of HMX-1 Marine Helicopter Squadron in G-1 (@Deacon211 I would love to hear your thoughts on this particular look).
