Official MALS-36 Ordnance Summer 2025 PVC Patch — Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 36 Ordnance Division PVC Patch
IYAOYAS — If You Ain't Ordnance, You Ain't Sh*t.
Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 36 (MALS-36) provides critical aviation logistics and maintenance support to Marine Aircraft Group 36 (MAG-36) at MCAS Futenma, Okinawa, Japan. The Ordnance division of MALS-36 is responsible for the storage, assembly, delivery, and loading of all aviation ordnance — from precision-guided munitions and rockets to machine gun ammunition and pyrotechnics. This Summer 2025 PVC patch is a seasonal morale edition that celebrates the Ordnance Marines who keep the weapons hot and ready under the Okinawan sun.
Aviation Ordnance Marines live by the motto "IYAOYAS" — a profane but proud declaration of their indispensable role in combat aviation. Without Ordnance Marines, aircraft are just expensive transportation. These are the Marines who build the bombs, load the missiles, and ensure that every round fired and every weapon released performs exactly as intended. The PVC construction of this patch provides superior durability in the humid Pacific climate, resisting moisture and maintaining vivid color through the demanding conditions of forward-deployed flight line operations on Okinawa.
Perfect For: MALS-36 Ordnance Marines past and present, aviation ordnance technicians across all squadrons, MCAS Futenma veterans, IYAOYAS enthusiasts, seasonal morale PVC patch collectors, and anyone who respects the Marines who arm the aircraft.
Summer loaded — MALS-36 Ordnance keeps it hot.
