The Navy Aircrew Survival Equipmentman rating, known by the designator PR, traces its roots to 1942 when the original Parachute Rigger rating was established to meet World War II survival requirements. The title was updated to Aircrew Survival Equipmentman in 1965 to reflect the expanded scope of the work. Today, PR Sailors and Marine Corps Flight Equipment technicians with MOS 6060 maintain parachutes, life rafts, helmets, oxygen systems, flotation devices, g-suits, anti-exposure suits, and survival kits across every Navy and Marine Corps aircraft type. Their work happens before the flight, behind the scenes, and under the pressure of knowing that a missed inspection or a failed seam can cost a life. This PVC shoulder patch captures that identity in a durable, field-ready format suited for flight-line gear, patch panels, tactical bags, and shadow box displays that honor the quiet professionals behind every safe return.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect For: Navy PR rating veterans and active-duty Sailors, Marine Corps MOS 6060 Flight Equipment technicians, Naval aviation collectors, NAS Pensacola alumni, squadron flight equipment shop crews, parachute rigger community members, ALSS program supporters, family keepsakes, shadow boxes, challenge coin and patch boards, and anyone building a collection around the unsung specialists who keep Naval and Marine Corps aviators alive when everything else fails.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePR community pride, stitched in PVC — because the gear has to be right every single time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military, Law Enforcement and Custom Patches by USMCinsignia.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45349590630509,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9831\/files\/3Patch_21_f6316fa4-bd0a-474d-aae6-b81e1a99307a.png?v=1781704756","url":"https:\/\/marinepatches.com\/products\/aircrew-survival-alss-pvc-shoulder-patch","provider":"MarinePatches.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
