Using Air Force Insignia[]

I was just wondering why your choice of ranks used are the same ranks as the United States Air Force? With an organization like this, I would think that you would make up the rank insignia's instead of using ranks already established by a US government organization. Your first enlisted rank is what the Air Force would call and Airman, or E-2 (Enlisted Rank #2), and you your highest rank is what the Air Force would call Cheif Master Sergeant of the Air Force or Cheif or E-9 (Enlisted Rank #9). I was just wondering about this is all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DJ DZ (talkcontribs)

Creating a media image for each rank, though taxing, would theoretically be possible. However, getting the funds to order patches or pins of original ranks would be extremely hard, whereas current military surplus and calvary stores are always easy to come by. The choice of Air Force in particular was because of our number of ranks and their, for lack of a better phrase, simplistic design flow (i.e. even those unfamiliar with our ranks or the Air Force can understand that the "bigger" the rank insignia gets and the more chevrons it has the higher up it is). Because many of our members do (or hope to in the future) display their O.G.R.E.s affiliation through the use of patches, pin, and stickers - it was best to go with an already established insignia where stock could be found. So, the short answer - it was a funds-related decision.   Hooper   talk    contribs    email   02:49, April 4, 2010 (UTC)
