astroAPhi...back in my day (which wasn't THAT long ago, right Maharet?
) the cross was more prevalent than the candle for chaplain, and the paddle was more prevalent than the clasped hands for the New Member Educator. I personally think it's just the evolution of political correctness, but if someone knows the story behind the trivia please share! There are indeed several offices which have alternate symbols used as dangles. AlphaGold shows most of them.
