Bundeswehr Tätigkeitsabzeichen Fliegerarzt (specialty badge - flight surgeon)


http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn181/legoman20/DSC01408.jpg
Another specialty badge, but some I've never seen before. It's not listed in the service regulations as well... strange.

http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn181/legoman20/DSC01409.jpg
Barettabzeichen Panzergrenadiertruppe (beret badge - armored infantry)

http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn181/legoman20/DSC01410.jpg
This should be "Heeresfliegerversuchsstaffel 910" (army aviation trial squadron). Im not 100% sure about this, but this should be the unit badge of an army aviation (grey rim) unit that's part of an army school, and there is only that one.

http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn181/legoman20/DSC01411.jpg
Tätigkeitsabzeichen Militärluftfahrzeugführer (specialty badge - military pilot)
Silver designates a senior pilot with more than 1200 flight hours.

http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn181/legoman20/DSC01412.jpg
Tätigkeitsabzeichen ständiger Luftfahrzeugbesatzungsangehöriger (specialty badge - permanent aircraft crew member)
Silver designates more than 1200 flight hours.

http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn181/legoman20/DSC01413.jpg
Same as above - don't know that.

http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn181/legoman20/DSC01414.jpg
Teilstreitkraftabzeichen Luftwaffe (branch badge - air force, worn on the blue dress uniform)

http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn181/legoman20/DSC01415.jpg
Abzeichen Schützenschnur, Gold, 10 Wiederholungen (Schützenschnur badge, gold, 10 repetitions. Worn on a silver cord on the right shoulder, not alone like this)

http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn181/legoman20/DSC01417.jpg

Dienstgradabzeichen Unteroffizier (rank insignia Unteroffizier, somewhere between corporal and sergeant)

http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn181/legoman20/DSC01418.jpg
Dienstgradabzeichen Leutnant (rank insignia lieutenant, cut down)

http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn181/legoman20/DSC01420.jpg
Verwendungsabzeichen Marineführungsdienst (assignment badge - naval command service)

http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn181/legoman20/DSC01421.jpg
Verwendungsabzeichen seemännischer Dienst (assignment badge - seaman)

http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn181/legoman20/DSC01422.jpg
Worn on the PT dress

http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn181/legoman20/DSC01425.jpg
Dienstgradabzeichen Stabsunteroffizier der Panzertruppe (rank insignia Stabsunteroffizier, sergeant. Pink rim means armored troops)

http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn181/legoman20/DSC01426.jpg
Blank officer's epaulette, missing rank insignias. Photo has stranege colors, hard to tell the arm of service.

http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn181/legoman20/DSC01427.jpg
Dienstgradabzeichen Stabsunteroffizier (rank insignia stabsunteroffizier) or more likely Obermaat (navy rank) if these are gold and not silver in color

http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn181/legoman20/DSC01428.jpg
Blank officer's epaulette, missing rank insignias. Army Aviation.

Those are mechanics of some sort is what my initial impression was with the cog that is around the areospace device. With my broken German it looks like I was not far off.
