What are the meanings of the symbols on petty officers patches?
Hello,
I am trying to get my uncle, a WW2 US Navy vet, a patch for his blue middy that he can wear in next years Veterans Day Parade. He served as an anti-aircraft gunner. I am see many different designs on Ebay such as lightning bolts, flags, keys, wings, globes, telescopes, ect. all above the stripes. Does anyone know of a site that has the meanings of these symbols or could tell me what to get for him?
Thank you, Rich
They symbolize ratings, or in other words what your job is.
GM was most likely your uncle's rating.
