We've Been Trying to Reach You About Your COD's Extended Warranty Patch — The Call You Never Wanted
Your warranty expired somewhere over the Philippine Sea. Good luck with that.
The C-2A Greyhound — lovingly known as the "COD" (Carrier Onboard Delivery) — has been the Navy's flying delivery truck since the 1960s, hauling jet engines, mail, passengers, and anything else a carrier strike group needs to stay in the fight. Built by Grumman as a cargo variant of the E-2 Hawkeye, the COD can deliver 10,000 pounds of payload, land on a carrier deck, and fold its wings for storage — all while being unstable in every axis. During a typical six-month deployment, a two-aircraft COD detachment racks up about 1,000 flight hours and hauls roughly a million pounds of cargo. Now that the CMV-22B Osprey is taking over the mission, the Greyhound's days are numbered — but its legend is forever. This morale patch captures the running joke that the COD has been on borrowed time for decades.
Perfect For: VRC-30 and VRC-40 COD crews, C-2 Greyhound pilots and loadmasters, carrier logistics personnel, and anyone who's ever ridden backwards in a cargo net praying the warranty was still good.
Please stay on the line — your COD is important to us.
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.
