MALS-36 Bladerunners Flightline Qual PVC Shoulder Patch — PVC Patch
Qualified on the Line — Blade Runner Certified
This isn't a patch you just get issued — it's one you earn. The MALS-36 Bladerunners Flightline Qualification patch represents the maintainers, ordnance technicians, and aviation support Marines who have proven their competence on one of the busiest and most demanding flight lines in the Marine Corps. If you've qualified to work the line with the Bladerunners, you've earned your place.
Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 36, the Bladerunners, operates from MCAS Futenma on Okinawa, Japan, providing critical intermediate-level maintenance and logistics support to Marine Aircraft Group 36. Deployed forward in the Western Pacific, MALS-36 maintains the aircraft that keep the III Marine Expeditionary Force's aviation combat element mission-ready. The squadron's Marines work around the clock in demanding conditions — tropical heat, typhoon seasons, and the constant operational tempo of a forward-deployed force. This durable PVC patch is built to withstand the same harsh conditions, marking those who have met the rigorous standards required to operate on the MALS-36 flight line.
Perfect For:
MALS-36 maintainers and support personnel, MAG-36 aviation Marines, Okinawa-based Marines, aviation logistics specialists, flightline-qualified personnel, and anyone who knows that aircraft don't fly without the Marines who keep them mission-capable.
Bladerunner qualified — keeping the birds in the fight.
