Garth Thompson Posted June 6, 2011 Just picked this up at the recent Huntsville, Al show. I had always thought the between war CMTC program was for the Army only but it appears there might have been a naval branch. Add one more to the catalog of unusual rating badges. Garth The three best things in life are a good landing, a good orgasm, and a good bowel movement. A night carrier landing is one of the few opportunities to experience all three at the same time. You can not pronounce as knowledge anything you can not demonstrate. ASMIC Secretary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sigsaye Posted June 7, 2011 What is CMTC? The Navy tended to stay close to basic uniform items, even with training programs. This is not really like any Navy rating badge. Steve Hesson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Hesson Civilian Military Training Camps, I didn't say it was a US Navy rate. It is more like a Sea Cadet thing.

Bearmon Posted June 18 I am bringing this one back up from the dead, I cannot find any info on the Navy being involved in the CMTC, to make it even more difficult here is a Navy themed CMTC patch with Wavettes, now there is a Navy and a female connection. (everything I can find on the CMTC is male only) Any help with information would be appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Minton Posted July 3 From what I have read Citizens' Military Training Camps (CMTC) were held summer during the years 1921 to 1940. The Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service (WAVES) were not established until 1942, so the name may only be a coincidence, or it is a different CMTC.
