PTI Officer. Can you wear cross swords

Blue Badge of Courage - what trained parachutists who fill - or have filled - a parachute-trained PID like to call the parachute badge with wings.

Obviously it is a secret society, unlike the "Lightbulb of Wah".

A few years ago I had occasion to break bread with a rather dim officer in one of the minor Corps. He sported a little squiggly ‘CP’ (Close Protection, apparently) badge on on the sleeve of his mess kit and looked a little bit awkward when I questioned him about it during the fish course.

Was he not meant to be wearing it?

Edit: @Queensman - I've checked; It's a permitted badge:

Many years ago I knew an AR WO in my glorious Corps who had previously been a TA para and he had wings sewn on both arms of his service dress. Sometimes it's better to say nothing and allow more people to witness his achievements of 30 years ago. From both sides.

One shouldn't discuss work, religion or politics during the fish course
