what navy squadron is nicknamed ruptured ducks
The Ruptured Duck is a permanent 'hardware' device with no expiration date. It has replaced all previously issued Honorable Discharge lapel pins. The Ruptured Duck is not the only Honorable Discharge lapel pin. The Navy, Coast Guard and Army have their own Honorable Discharge pins today. Not true. The Ruptured Duck is the only official all-branch Honorable Discharge lapel pin.
