This is the older '6 down' style C/MSgt insignia. 

Pictured is both the large size and small size cadet Flight Officer Rank insignia.  It is gold in color.

This rank has been replaced by the senior and Chief Master sergeant ranks.
 

Awarded to cadets who have completed the model rocketry training  program.  This badge has a dull silver finish that was highly polished by myself as a cadet (before the shiny stuff).

I have not polished it for several years and the dull finish is returning.
