Marine Aerial Navigator insignia

Presently, personnel must obtain an equivalent formal course of another service and volunteer to fly as enlisted aircrew.

Marine Aerial Navigators were eliminated with the introduction of the KC-130J aircraft.

While training of Marine Aerial Navigators has ceased, they continue to fly on the 'legacy' KC-130T aircraft until their eventual replacement with KC-130J airframes.

After designation, Marine Aerial Navigators serve in the Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) 7371 (Aerial Navigator-Trainee) while undergoing aircraft model-specific training and move into MOS 7372 (First Navigator) upon completion of their aircraft type training.

There is no separate insignia worn by warrant officer navigators.
