    I had the same thought so dug thru my box of insignia. I found my warrant office cap device but not my commissioned officer one. I bought one on USAMM.com. The back has a screw post that goes thru a grommet in the service cap and a single sharp pin above meant to keep it from rotating. I'll cut those off and epoxy a broach pin on the back.

    I also am considering using my aviator wings

    And now I lament that I am only enlisted; my service cap insignia would look terrible with the brass back, and my eagle is much too small to use. Likewise, my Cross Pistols (MP here) would also be too small (and I'm using them as a tie tack), and I am hesitant to order officer ones since I am not an officer. My MP badge would just look outlandish. So, as much as I would like to have some kind of military identifier on my cap it doesn't seem like I can.

    I hear you. I considered using my enlisted cap badge with blue infantry disc, but it's just looks a bit small. The female enlisted cap badge is better - larger and open; but again, not female...

    I decided to see what I could find that could be used as a military identifier and a cap badge when my google search led me to the Celtic Croft which has made military cap badges for all of the branches of the US Military. They come in pewter and silver.

    Thanks. I got a pewter one to wear as a kilt pin on my US Army tartan, USAKilts semi-traditional.

    Nice!

    I almost choked when I saw the price for the silver, but the pewter might just work.

    Thanks.
