    I ran into a few German Marine junior officers at FLETC Charleston a decade ago… They were there for the USCG’s boarding officer school. Pretty good dudes to chat with – they enjoyed the Yuengling at the G-bar. LOL

    Thanks for posting it! Just some additional informations: The badge is worn on the right breast. It is awarded after the sailor has passed the boarding operations course successfully. The badge shows a navy vessel in front of two crossed rifles. The wings underline that many boarding operations are conducted by helicopters.
