Airframes We Screw, We Nut, We Bolt Patch — Embroidered Patch
We Screw, We Nut, We Bolt — Airframers Morale Patch
Every Marine aircraft that takes off and lands safely does so because an airframer put their hands on it first. This morale patch is a tribute to the green-cranial Marines who keep the airframes mission-ready — the structural mechanics who screw, nut, and bolt the Marine Corps' aviation fleet together, one fastener at a time.
Airframers (MOS 6091/6092) are the Marine Corps' aircraft structural mechanics — the Marines who maintain, repair, and inspect the airframes, flight surfaces, and structural components of every aircraft in the Marine aviation fleet. Identified by their distinctive green cranials on the flight line, airframers are responsible for ensuring structural integrity on everything from rotary-wing helicopters to tilt-rotor Ospreys to fixed-wing jets. They patch battle damage, replace flight-critical components, and keep aging aircraft structurally sound for continued service. It's detailed, demanding work that requires precision and a deep understanding of aircraft systems — and airframers take justifiable pride in the fact that nothing flies without them.
Perfect For: Airframers, green cranials, Marine aviation maintenance personnel, flight line mechanics, and anyone who's ever turned a wrench on a Marine aircraft.
We screw, we nut, we bolt — and the fleet flies.
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.
Yes. If you see a note like “bulk reruns available,” that means we can support group orders or reruns. If you don’t see it, contact us with the unit/squadron and quantity and we’ll confirm options.
Yes—custom solutions are available (patches, name tags, lanyards, apparel). Use the custom request page and include artwork, size, backing preference, and quantity.
