Please tell me 02-14 had some kind of epic friday patch that offset the kool-aid drinking nerdiness of that patch.

I think it’s understandable considering they probably started pilot training September 2001.

I'm old, I need a backstory? What does "SODO" on name tag mean? What's the hidden meaning behind this patch?

Here's mine from Mother Rucker.  Back then Hueys we flew had orange doors.  On Fridays we'd wear our patch halfway back on the sleeve because doors were open!  

Will post some more tomorrow.

My Class Patch, perhaps the most boring annd uninspired ever designed. I can draw decently, so I was tasked to come up with some designs. I like heavy metal music and came up with about 5 other patch designs, one with Van Halen’s “Light Up the Sky” as a theme. My lame classmates chose this one, the worst of the bunch!  Then the guy who was tasked with getting them made chose a bargain basement company who only offered a few colors, he thought he did us a favor by saving money!,,The one on the right  was another I designed in 1991, for a Special  Ops crew I was on. Metallica’s Black Album was big at the time, so “Sleep with one eye Open” from Enter Sandman was perfect. The Grim Reaper was our mascot..

Not a Class Patch. My regular C-141 squadron patch on the left, the 18th MAS “Blue Diamonds.

the one on the right was the first SOLL II crew at McGuire, so we kept the same theme, but with our Grim Reaper motif..

I took this photo on a visit to CBM back in 2014. Notice how lame and monochromatic my class patch looks compared to the colorful and clever themes from other classes! The one one the right was Class 87-05, the patch said, “The Need for Speed”  Top Gun had just premiered a week or so before they designed their patch.

Are helo pilots naturally more creative, or something?  Those patches are better than all the others posted on here…Skid marks cracked me up.
