Gas Turbine System Technician (GS) Navy Rate Patch 1st-3rd Class

This is the appropriate rating patch for US Navy personnel with the rating of Gas Turbine System Technician GS1, GS2, or GS3. Navy rates are only sold as first class rates and can be cut to second or third class.

Gas Turbine System Technician (GS) are responsible for all gas turbine engines. They maintain propulsion machinery, including gears, shafting and controllable pitch propellers, assigned auxiliary equipment propulsion control systems, electrical and electronic circuitry up to the printed circuit module, and alarm and warning circuitry. They handle administrative tasks related to gas turbine propulsion system operation and maintenance.

The U.S. Navy Enlisted Left Sleeve Rating Patch is Swiss-Loomed on midnight navy-blue wool serge material. By tradition the Petty Officer 1st Class patch must be hemmed to the proper rank for Petty Officer 2nd Class and Petty Officer 3rd Class.
