Officer Dangle Question

[polarpi]

I got my first guard after I ordered my pin and bought some dangles, but I recently purchased a new "upgraded" badge and purchased the guard at the same time. I'm planning on purchasing some (if not all) the dangles I plan on "repurchasing" at Convention in a few weeks.

But back to the original question - I put my dangles through the links of the guard, I guess to help them "stand out" individually. I've had a number of people (sisters and non-sisters) mention my dangles when they see me wearing my badge, and I guess I also feel that they're a little "safer" where I might only lose one if it fell off the chain, rather than all of them if my chain broke.
