The enameled badge features an aviation chick attempting to take flight from the water, he is wearing a flight helmet and goggles. Surrounding the center is a wreath joined together at the base with a yellow bow with the letters: "P and S" on each side of the bow. The outer edge of the badge reads: N. A. T. C. PENSACOLA FLA in embossed lettering. "PS"? Pilot Solo? Pistol Sharpshooter? Patrol Seaplane?
