(Another AV8RSTUFF Creation): VFA-122 flies the F/A-18E/F out of NAS Lemoore, CA as the West Coast Replacement Air Group (RAG). In order to be qualified for the “FLEET” (operational squadrons), the pilots must “Carrier” qualify by going through the ‘FLIGHT DECK’ curriculum on one of the carriers that are “not” deployed. This is the “OVAL” style shoulder-patch they created for this DET that says “WELCOME TO THE CLOWN SHOW” (talking about the students’ approaches to the boat) and DOES NOT come with velcro attached.
