riken1974 SG Another one is the Taiwan UDG (Underwater Demolition Group) Insignia. Can’t find the pic. So far seen those wore by divers.
specfore SG Sort of similar experience but not badge .. my S3 (who was a regular) in my former reservist unit had an Isreali paratrooper helmet, which he used instead of our kevlar SAF one. From a distance, can't notice. But nearer, you can see that it is flat at the brim all around and its profile is a bit wider than our kevlar one. He was on attachment to a para unit .

Joshua1975 SG The left row of wings can hardly found in SAF and here talk about rare oversea one? Btw no 414 is not any airborn wing. It not at all.
Gordonator SG 416a is Parachuist 416b is Senior Parachuist 416c is Master Parachuist. what's the name for 414, 415a and 415b?
Master -_- SG Reminds me when i was in Hendon Camp last month, i was chatting with a Chinese SWO (red beret and all), he is so decorated that he dazzled under the sunlight. I think he BRASSO-ed the badges sia.. He was in number 3. he looked around 40-45 like that but he quite fit sia. I think he must be a legend or something. Besides the normal JCC,Taekwondo, IPPT Gold,CSB,Airborne and Marksman. he got these 2 badges which i am sure i have never ever seen. LRRP and this funny looking diver badge Total respect sia. Still saluted me when he has to move off. *speechless*
Joshua1975 SG 416a is Parachuist 416b is Senior Parachuist 416c is Master Parachuist. what's the name for 414, 415a and 415b? 414 been answered. 415a and 415b is Freefall Wing. know what SAF have before asking about oversea badges.
LazerLordz SG Considering that 414 is SOF and the above two are considerably less seen in public as opposed to the foreign badges, you can't blame people right?
one-niner SG how many more jumps must u make to get 415b ? i seen most CDOs with 415a ,but not b though ...
quivalen SG 414 - SOF 415a - Master Freefall 415b - Senior Freefall 414 - of course you can 'hardly' find it in the SAF - how big is the SOF? 415a - not that uncommon. a fair number of CRF - particularly WOSEs - have master wings. 415b - rare only by virtue of the number and type (tactical, water etc) of jumps required - 100, iirc? can't remember. and with TSR being what they are its difficult to clock so many jumps. generally only PJIs/ex-PJIs have senior-level jump wings.
quivalen SG not so rare anymore. ;-) btw the picture you posted - the wings look to be made of metal? in my picture they're cloth. there's also a no.1 version which is gold on black.
