Sadly they stopped that many many years ago. Same with the Marines. I wish I had a number like AA Cunningham (NA #5, MA#1).

Heck, I'd be all for bringing that back!
We lucked out in the helo community...we were assigned a Naval Aviator helo specific number upon winging (see pic below)...not sure if they still do that today in the helo community. We did not receive a Naval Aviator system wide number.

Say what?
So you think I'm an old dude?
I'm a middle age dude!
I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry!
I'll just do both.

Oh, and another thing...
I could have easily stolen your pre-school lunch money back in 1988 if I wanted to.
*neener, neener, neener*
So I joined the Navy before you were born. Dang, you're just a baby...
28 years, 8 months.

We still do that. We got ours on our winging steins too.
Cool beans.
You received winging steins? That sounds pretty spiffy. We didn't receive winging steins...so now I'm upset.
I'm certain for the right price, one can be had....Cool beans.

Because it's a helicopter pilot number and there's only one place you can get those. If you'll notice, it's a NASWF form. I'm pretty sure Wing 5 has an up to date tally on who has made it through the HTs.
The steins aren't so much "received," as purchased by the winging class. My winging class made them so that our TMS is on one side and our wings and number are on the other. Pretty cool display item, but too much of a pain in the ass to drink my Scotch from.
