HMLA-367 CDQAR Puppet Master Patch — Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 367 Collateral Duty Quality Assurance Representative Embroidered Patch
Pulling all the strings behind the scenes.
Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 367 (HMLA-367) "Scarface" operates the AH-1Z Viper and UH-1Y Venom from Marine Corps Air Station Camp Pendleton, California. This CDQAR (Collateral Duty Quality Assurance Representative) "Puppet Master" patch honors the Marines who serve as the squadron's quality assurance watchdogs — the individuals who ensure that every maintenance action, every inspection, and every repair meets the exacting standards required to keep Vipers and Venoms safely in the air.
CDQAR Marines are among the most experienced and knowledgeable maintainers in any squadron. They monitor maintenance procedures, inspect completed work, and have the authority to accept or reject any maintenance action that doesn't meet technical publication standards. The "Puppet Master" title reflects the CDQAR's unique position of influence — while they don't turn the wrenches themselves, they control the quality of every wrench-turn in the hangar. Nothing flies without their stamp of approval, making them the silent guardians of aircraft safety and mission readiness.
This patch is a badge of honor for the detail-oriented Marines who hold the highest maintenance standards at HMLA-367.
Perfect For: HMLA-367 Scarface quality assurance personnel, CDQAR qualified Marines, Marine aviation maintainers, and USMC maintenance qualification patch collectors.
Nothing launches without the Puppet Master's approval.
If you want to swap patches on/off gear, choose hook & loop (velcro). If you’re attaching permanently to uniforms or fabric, choose sew-on. If you want quick application on compatible fabric, choose iron-on / heat seal (when offered). Backing options are shown on the page and update based on the variant you select.
Size is shown on the product page and updates with the variant you select (example: 3"). If you’re mounting on a hat or small panel, choose smaller sizes; for plate carriers and display boards, larger sizes fit better.
If the product is officially licensed, it will say “Officially Licensed” in the title and/or in the product details. If it doesn’t, it’s still a legitimate product—just not part of a licensed program.
