VMGR-452 Yankees CDI Shoulder Patch — Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 452 Collateral Duty Inspector Qualification Embroidered Patch
Yankees CDI qualified — flightline trusted.
This VMGR-452 "Yankees" CDI shoulder patch identifies Marines who have earned Collateral Duty Inspector (CDI) qualification within the squadron. CDI is one of the most important maintenance qualifications in Marine aviation, authorizing the holder to independently inspect and certify critical maintenance actions on the KC-130 Hercules.
VMGR-452 is a Marine Corps Reserve aerial refueler transport squadron, and earning CDI qualification in a Reserve unit requires exceptional dedication. Reserve Marines who achieve CDI status have demonstrated comprehensive knowledge of the KC-130's systems, inspection procedures, and quality assurance standards through rigorous written and practical examinations. CDI-qualified Marines serve as the quality gatekeepers on the flightline, ensuring that every maintenance action performed on the aircraft meets the exacting standards that keep Marines safe in flight. This shoulder patch is worn with pride as visible proof of that professional achievement.
This patch identifies VMGR-452's most trusted maintenance professionals.
Perfect For: VMGR-452 Yankees CDI-qualified Marines, KC-130 Hercules maintenance specialists, Reserve aviation maintenance professionals, and flightline qualification patch collectors.
CDI qualified — VMGR-452 Yankees.
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.
