Im not a Past Commander, but Ive got some pin-worthy material of my own

While judging the American Legion Oratorical Contest, I noticed a Legionnaire with a large, gold pin on his arm that read Past Commander.

A pin denoting a previous station in life. 

I like this idea a lot.

Rather than leaving behind previous accomplishments and positions of significance, why not  plaster them across your arm for all to see. 

I really like this idea.  

And so I made a list of some of the pins that I might consider including on my arm.  They include:

Former Little League All Star Retired Dungeon Master Failed telemarketer Former member of The National Grange of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry  Two-time lip syncing contest champion Former community theater actor One time criminal defendant Former lifeguard Failed Habitat for Humanity volunteer Former founding and solo member of a high school chess club One-time Ronald McDonald Children's Charities volunteer imposter Former third string middle school soccer goalie Former flutist, bassoonist and drummer (I also played clarinet, but what would that make me?  A former clarineteer?) Ex-step-brother Former banker Past science fair cheat Former raccoon owner One time homeless person Former and currently wistful fire engine chaser Failed bus patrol volunteer (I was fired from the position in third grade) Former member of the Poison fan club

Granted, a few of these pins might get a little large, but I can always add them to my legs when my arms get full.
