Just Kinda Do It Patch — 11th MEU / VMM-163 "Just Kinda Do It" Morale Embroidered Patch

Just Kinda Do It — the most honest morale patch in the Marine Corps, capturing the reality of military operations where the plan is more of a suggestion and you just kinda figure it out.

This morale patch is associated with the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit and VMM-163 "Evil Eyes," offering a hilariously self-aware take on the famous Nike slogan. "Just Kinda Do It" perfectly captures the Marine Corps' improvisational approach to problem-solving — when the plan falls apart (and it always does), Marines don't quit, they don't panic, they just kinda do it. Not perfectly, not by the book, but they get it done with whatever they have available.

The genius of "Just Kinda Do It" lies in its brutal honesty. Military operations are rarely executed with the precision and elegance depicted in training manuals and PowerPoint briefings. In reality, equipment breaks, communications fail, the weather turns, and the enemy doesn't cooperate with the plan. What separates Marines from everyone else is their ability to adapt, improvise, and overcome — or as this patch more accurately describes it, to just kinda do it until the mission is accomplished.

This patch resonates with anyone who has ever been on a deployment, exercise, or field operation where the gap between the plan and reality was measured in miles. It's the unofficial motto of every Marine who has ever been told to accomplish the impossible with insufficient resources and a vague timeline.

Perfect For: 11th MEU deployers, VMM-163 Evil Eyes members, Marines who appreciate brutally honest morale patches, deployment veterans, and anyone who has ever just kinda done it.

Just Kinda Do It — because sometimes that's all you can do, and sometimes that's enough.

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.
