Product Description

VAW-123 Screwtop JOPA Patch — Junior Officers Running the Show

The JOPA of VAW-123 keeps the Screwtops running — because junior officers do the real work.

This Junior Officers Protection Association (JOPA) patch from Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron 123 (VAW-123), the Screwtops, celebrates the time-honored military tradition of junior officer solidarity. JOPA is the unofficial fraternity of JOs who do the bulk of the squadron's operational flying, ground jobs, and administrative work while navigating the early years of their naval aviation careers. VAW-123 flies the E-2 Hawkeye, providing airborne early warning and battle management for the carrier strike group. The Screwtops' JOPA patch captures the irreverent humor that keeps junior officers sane.

Perfect For: VAW-123 Screwtops junior officers, E-2 Hawkeye JO pilots and NFOs, JOPA members across naval aviation, and squadron morale patch collectors.

Screentops JOPA — the JOs who keep it all together.

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.
