This patch was sent by the VAW-125 Tigertails and depicts the plight of the Naval Officers during the years of ’93-’95. The manning shortfall for those year groups kind of makes a “”””T”””” in their manning diagrams. That’s where the “”””T”””” in T-notch comes from. It stems from the Navy RIF’ing too many people during the draw down of the early 90’s. Guys in those year groups are pretty much assured of promotion since they are so hurting for people. That’s the story behind it.
