Product Description

Official VAQ-137 Rooks JOPA Shoulder Patch — Junior Officer Protection Association

The Rooks' JOPA — because junior officers need to stick together in the electronic warfare ready room.

This embroidered shoulder patch represents the Junior Officer Protection Association (JOPA) of Electronic Attack Squadron 137 (VAQ-137), the Rooks. JOPA is the tongue-in-cheek name for the informal alliance of junior officers in a squadron who band together for mutual support, shared complaining, and collective survival of the training and deployment cycle. VAQ-137's JOPA patch identifies the wearer as a junior Rook — still learning the ropes but proud to be part of the electronic attack community and the squadron's JO culture.

Perfect For: VAQ-137 Rooks junior officers, Navy JOPA culture fans, EA-18G JO community members, and squadron JO humor patch collectors.

Rooks JOPA — junior officers protecting each other.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right backing?

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.

What size is this item?

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.

Are these Officially Licensed?

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.

Do you offer bulk or reruns for units/squadrons?

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.

Can you make a custom patch / name tag / lanyard / apparel?

Yes—custom solutions are available (patches, name tags, lanyards, apparel). Use the custom request page and include artwork, size, backing preference, and quantity.
