Mustin , the Naval Aviator Insignia is a warfare qualification of the United States military that is awarded to those aviators of the United States Navy , Marine Corps , and Coast Guard who have qualified as Naval Aviators upon successful completion of flight school. The decoration is similar in design to the Naval Flight Officer Badge , consisting of a single fouled anchor, surmounted by a shield, centered on a pair of golden wings. The Naval Aviator Badge is identical for all three branches and is awarded in a single degree. To qualify for the Naval Aviator Badge, a service member must have completed Primary and Advanced Flight Training and be designated a qualified pilot of a military aircraft. United States Marine Corps AviationFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Aviators Naval Aviator Insignia All Marine pilots and flight officers are trained and qualified as Naval Aviators or Naval Flight Officers by the Navy. Prospective aviators receive their commissions just as other Marine officers do, then report to Marine Aviation Training Support Group 21 to attend Aviation Preflight Indoctrination at Naval Air Station Pensacola , Florida . There they receive instruction in aerodynamics , aircraft engines and systems, meteorology , navigation , and flight rules and regulations. Following completion, they are assigned to Primary Flight Training at Marine Aviation Training Support Group 22 , Naval Air Station Corpus Christi , Texas or remain in Pensacola, Florida. Upon successful completion of Primary Flight Training, they will select which type of aircraft they would like to fly, in accordance with the needs of the Corps. After selection, student aviators are assigned to Advanced Flight Training in their particular field (jet, propeller, or rotary wing). Upon completion, students are designated as Naval Aviators and are awarded the Naval Aviator Insignia . From that point, they are trained a Fleet Replacement Squadron for the specific aircraft they will be flying. A few uncommon aircraft are taught by the Navy or Air Force , or in the case of HMX-1 , by the company that created the aircraft. After completion, aviators are assigned to their first squadron. Flight Officers, after Aviation Preflight Indoctrination, continue their own training path by staying at Pensacola and training further in navigation and avionics . After Advanced NFO training, receive their wings and are assigned to their first duty squadron. Enlisted aircrew also serve on some aircraft (mostly helicopters). They are trained at NAS Pensacola and are eligible to wear the Aircrew insignia . Marine aviators are eligible to earn medals such as the Distinguished Flying Cross for heroism in combat and the Air Medal for meritorious achievement in flight as well as the Gray Eagle Award for seniority. Pilots in combat have a chance to become flying aces .
