[QUOTE]Originally posted by Woodside Kid: [QB] It's just as easy to say the pips are an homage to the old Navy stripe patterns. It's also simpler to have just one set of rank insignia to learn, rather than having to learn the meaning of the stripe patterns (which are Navy) as well as the rank pins (which it has in common with the other services). You make things too complicated and you run the risk of problems like the Air Force had in the early 90s. It decided to move all the rank insignia on the fatigue uniforms to a name pach on the left breast. The problem? You had to get about a foot and a half away from someone before you could tell whether or not to salute him. [/QB][/QUOTE]
