KurtA Posted April 26, 2017 Share #4 Posted April 26, 2017 I'd go with the WW2 to Korea time frame. Mainly due to those applied chevrons (as opposed to fully embroidered). That is a really great rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUBUSMC Posted April 26, 2017 Share #5 Posted April 26, 2017 Can't remember the exact date but I think they stopped wearing this rate in 1948? There were still NAPs in the Navy, but they reverted to other aviation rates. Semper Fi - Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin B. Posted April 26, 2017 Share #6 Posted April 26, 2017 Can't remember the exact date but I think they stopped wearing this rate in 1948? There were still NAPs in the Navy, but they reverted to other aviation rates. Semper Fi - Jeff Correct. Aviation Pilot continued as an Exclusive Emergency Service rating in the reserves, but the specialty mark was changed from the wings to the letter "V". That's a great looking green rating badge!
