RogerM Posted January 24, 2022 Share #1 Posted January 24, 2022 I like these little patches compared to the full size versions. I recently picked up a ziploc bag of WWII ones too. Just need to go through them. Anyone know this rating? I have used a few hours time today and just can't locate it on Google. Thanks all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0bx Posted January 24, 2022 Share #2 Posted January 24, 2022 Per John Stacey"s book United States Navy Rating Badges and Marks 1883 to 2008, this is a Tradevman rating. Established as a combination of Specialist G (Aviation Free Gunnery Instructor) and Specialist T (Link Trainer Instructor). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
