Official VMGR-352 JOPA Shoulder Patch — Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 352 Raiders Junior Officer Protection Association Shoulder Embroidered Patch
Raiders JOPA — junior officers united in the KC-130.
This VMGR-352 "Raiders" JOPA (Junior Officer Protection Association) shoulder patch represents the junior officer community within the Marine Corps' KC-130J Hercules aerial refueler transport squadron. JOPA patches are a beloved tradition in military aviation, where junior officers — typically Lieutenants and Captains — create their own unofficial organization to build camaraderie and navigate the challenges of early career military life together.
VMGR-352 is based at MCAS Miramar, California, operating the KC-130J Super Hercules as part of Marine Aircraft Group 11 (MAG-11) under 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing. The Raiders' junior officers fly some of the most demanding missions in Marine aviation — aerial refueling of helicopters and tiltrotors at night, tactical transport into austere airfields, and rapid ground refueling in forward areas. The JOPA shoulder patch is worn with pride by the squadron's junior officers, signifying membership in the unofficial brotherhood that provides mentorship, social cohesion, and mutual support during the formative years of a Marine officer's career. It's a tongue-in-cheek reminder that junior officers stick together.
This shoulder patch marks VMGR-352's junior officer brotherhood.
Perfect For: VMGR-352 Raiders junior officers, KC-130 Hercules aviators, JOPA tradition enthusiasts, and Marine aerial refueler transport squadron collectors.
JOPA strong — VMGR-352 Raiders.
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.
