Dragons that glow in the dark — VMM-265's EP qualification patch in a PVC glow-in-the-dark format, because even environmental protection looks cooler when it glows.
This PVC shoulder patch from Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 265 (VMM-265), the "Dragons," recognizes the Environmental Protection (EP) qualification within the squadron. EP-qualified Marines are responsible for ensuring that VMM-265's operations comply with environmental regulations, managing hazardous materials and waste, and protecting the environment at MCAS Futenma, Okinawa, and wherever the Dragons deploy.
VMM-265 operates the MV-22B Osprey from MCAS Futenma, Okinawa, Japan, as part of MAG-36, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing. The glow-in-the-dark feature adds a fun twist to this qualification patch, making it visible in low-light conditions and adding a unique collectible element. PVC glow patches have become increasingly popular in military aviation, combining practical qualification recognition with creative design elements.
Environmental protection is a critical function in military aviation, ensuring that fuel, lubricants, solvents, and other hazardous materials are properly handled and disposed of. EP Marines protect both the local environment and the Marine Corps' ability to operate from its installations.
