This is just something I found interesting and I figured the Navy cadets out there might be interested as well. I always wondered what the different colored vests meant on a flight deck, and the link below gives a good description of all the different colors and what they mean. Enjoy and God bless!

While this MAY be a source in your book, I would go with a .mil source any day over a wiki source. Wiki sources have been known to be either incomplete, incorrect, or not current and that is a problem. Learn to go to the BEST source that you can find when you do a search and quote that source. It may take a little more time to do so, but your knowledge base will be better because of it.

Just a suggestion...

Suggestion taken. I have neer had a problem with a Wiki page. I have alway's found them to be really reliable. I will use .mil next time though.

In this case the wiki source is correct about the aviation colors but I didn't read the rest so I don't know about this, but ang1sgt is right, Wiki is often incorrect, incomplete, or missing key information.
