Naval Aviator Number?

[Brreyeno2l]

This may have been answered here before but I did some searches and came up with nothing. I know when helicopter pilots get their wings at Whiting, they get mugs with their Naval Aviator number on them. When I got mine in Kingsville many years ago they had no such thing. Does anyone know anyway to look up what Naval Aviator number they are? Purely for curiosity than anything else. Thanks.

Mine was on a card that was given to us at winging.. (VT-7, 1996) But I have since lost that card so no clue and no idea how to find out...

Contact CNATRA? I assume some civilian there holds the title: Keeper of the NA Numbers.

yeah man, if you look on that little business card sized winging card they gave you (assuming krock did, but I know meridian gave me one), the number is on there if I recall correctly.

Isn't it on your winging certificate too?

I also have a copy of a letter in my hard copy Officer's Service Record with my date of designation and my NFO number (G-6163). Something like that should be either in your service record hardcopy or on microfiche.

service record hardcopy or on microfiche

LOL

It's not on my certificate (the big paper one). I wouldn't be surprised if different winging sources did things differently though.

I take it that the records-keeping system has changed? What is it now? Just curious...

Micro fiche, OCR and navgrams all went away.

Record available online or you can order it on CD (though I wonder if that will soon be replaced).

What the hell is a CD and how do I put it into my iPad?

Last two aircraft I have trained on I was given all my pubs on a USB stick. The latest go round everything was automatically downloaded to my company iPad. This technology thing is nice!

While some bases apparently still give out numbers CNATRA officially stopped handing out Naval Aviator numbers in the 70's (pages 197 and 198 in the following link):

The Chief of Naval Air Training quit issuing Naval Aviator Numbers sometime in the 1970s. Documentation has not been located that gives the date or provides reasons why the assignment of Naval Aviator numbers was discontinued. To date, no complete listing of all Naval Aviator numbers, including the letter-number designations, has been found. Moreover, it is highly unlikely a complete list exists because of the decentralization of the system during WWII. Bits and pieces of the listing for Naval Aviator numbers is held by the Naval Aviation History Office. However, the WWII and post-war period list is not organized in any alphabetical or chronological order, consequently, it is extremely difficult to find any individual’s number.
