My Brother-in-law is a retired naval aviator. I remember when he was at Pensacola he got one sort of like this. Can't be sure if I have the words exactly right.

I don't know but I've been told

Navy wings are made of gold.

I don't know but heard it said

Air force wings are made of lead.

That one was featured in "An Officer and Gentleman, with Lou Gosset Jr. as the DI. Debra Winger as the townie who didn't want to snare an officer cadet, but did. Some dumb SoB as the officer cadet... oh yea, Richard Gere.
