Navy insignia?
« on: November 01, 2017, 02:20:51 PM »
Does anyone Recognize this insignia?
My stepdad did 20 years in the Navy on a few carriers. Guess that is where I got my love for aircraft.

We lost him earlier this year.
Was maybe going to put this on my next plane.
Thanks

Thanks Guys.
I have all his certificates. I know he was on the USS Enterprise twice and USS America. I think his last job on the America was overseeing the helicopter shop.
And yes Ty he was a E-9 Master Chief.

His Birthday is today. I sure miss him.
