MLETP Graduation Pin Symbolism
The
breaking waves with crossed oars represent our coastal mission and the
dangers therein. Waves break the hardest at the shallow area, or bar,
of an inlet. Ocean currents, which travel hundreds of miles, collide
with river currents. The force of these opposing currents, coupled with
a coastal storm can tear a vessel apart in minutes.- The gear cogs represent the ability to shift gears at a moments notice and respond to the immediate task at hand.
- The seahorses represent vigilance and mobility, facing out protecting the homeland within.
- The
eye colors designate port and starboard running lights; they are the
same aspect of a vessel meeting head-on. This is the same way we meet
our marine missions. The anchor is a symbol of being steadfast and
secure in our mission. The compass rose symbolizes the ability to
complete the mission world wide.
