German sports badge!

Hi!
Thanks a million for the ribbon. I am myself a judge of the sports badges, and is in general a medal-nerd..

I have been thinking about something. The German Sports Badge page starts like this:Italic text The German Sports Badge (German: Deutsches Sportabzeichen) is a decoration of the German Olympic Sports Federation DOSB, of the Federal Republic of Germany. It exists in a civilian and military version.

What is the difference between the military and civilian version? As far as I know the DOSB badge only exists in one kind (That may either be worn as a ribbon, badge or medal)..
The military German Armed Forces Badge for Military Proficiency isn't the same, but it's true that the DOSB-badge is a part of the military proficiency badge...

I think the line It exists in a civilian and military version. should be removed.. What do you think?

It's done. I am also working on finding some pictures that we may use here, as you can see.. Skibden (talk) 14:58, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

A gift!

		The Original Barnstar
		This is for your work in medals and badges. Especially the German commando course and Dutch Military Proficiency Badge has helped me A LOT, it's very hard to find info about these anywhere online.. Thanks a million.. Skibden (talk) 20:14, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

<<--- A ribbon alternative for your barnstar ;-)

Thanks for your offer about more info.. Maybe some day I will write and ask. I am a firefighter and have a medal-fetish, so I can wear some stuff on the uniform. I also have my own website about danish medals. I am working on getting some european para-wings, most likely starting with the one from Holland/Netherlands..
I also myself have both the ÖSTA, DOSB and Bayern sports badges.. Skibden (talk) 19:44, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

I am actually a member of the European Paratroopers website you like to. And the their rival: http://www.europeanparatroopers.org/badges_fr.htm

Unfortunately we have VERY strict rules about what medals and badges we may wear. In general if the badge isn't handed out by the minister/king/president of a foreign nation, we may not wear it (For example the DOSB-badge is official german and we may wear it). I have though about getting the Rescue Swimming badge, but unfortunately I am better at sinking then swimming ;-)

Anyone can participate in the dutch para-training and get the dutch parawing (it is a civilian version of the military one, but is still approved on most uniforms). Organizer of trips to holland The training centre in holland Skibden (talk) 09:17, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
