Alliance Naval Readiness Badge

The Alliance Naval Readiness Badge is a Grand Alliance Naval Badge that signifies a sailor or officer's readiness to sail out to sea. Additionally, it also shows the amount of years spent sailing.

Significance
The badge is a very significant award. Unlike the Submariner's or Fleet Air Arm Badges, this badge is awarded to almost the entire Naval Personnel.

Not only does it signify time at sea, it is also regarded as a clear indicator of service, often detailing how senior the sailor or officer is in the absence of rank.

Awarding
The Badge is awarded to all sailors and officers after their posting, but prior to deployment. It is typically given to Naval College graduates or enlisted civilians once they have completed basic training.

For every five years, a small golden star is usually added to the Badge. Once an officer is granted the privileged of flying a flag (Thus becoming a Flag Officer), their Badge star is often replaced with an Anchor.
