yep, that’s true, too. Seen it myself. I never earned wings, so I never went through it but the wings get pinned into your chest.

And rank insignia is beaten into your arms when you're promoted too.
God forbid that you should reach the rank of Corporal and receive those dreaded “blood stripes” on your dress blue trousers. You walk the gauntlet and get a real beat down, arms and legs.
