The squadron flies AH-1Z Viper attack helicopters and UH-1Y Venom utility helicopters under Marine Aircraft Group 29, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, at Marine Corps Air Station New River, North Carolina. Its motto, Have Guns-Will Travel, says everything about the Warriors identity, and none of those guns go anywhere without the ordnancemen who load, arm, inspect, and certify every round, rocket, and missile before the aircraft ever lifts. Aviation ordnancemen, known throughout the fleet as Ordies, are responsible for the maintenance, stowing, issuing, and loading of all airborne weapons and munitions at the squadron level. In a light attack squadron like HMLA-167, that work is constant, precise, and directly tied to whether the Cobras and Venoms can execute close air support when ground forces need it most. This patch pairs the Ordie identity with the Warriors flag design and the phrase that every flight-line maintainer lives by, making it a piece that carries real meaning for anyone who spent time in the ordnance shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect For: HMLA-167 Warriors veterans, Marine Corps aviation ordnancemen, Ordie community collectors, AH-1Z Viper and UH-1Y Venom maintainers, MAG-29 and 2nd MAW alumni, MCAS New River veterans, flight-line crew members, shadow box builders, deployment keepsake displays, challenge coin and patch boards, and anyone who wants a patch that honors the people who keep the weapons ready and the mission honest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWarriors lineage, Ordie pride, stitched for the crew that keeps the guns flying.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military, Law Enforcement and Custom Patches by USMCinsignia.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45495882416237,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9831\/files\/4Patch_40_dc2c8685-9012-4073-bda9-a77029a9363d.png?v=1784819871","url":"https:\/\/marinepatches.com\/products\/part-of-the-crew-part-of-the-ship-hmla-167-ordie-flag-patch","provider":"MarinePatches.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
