Actually I know of one...his callsign is "Famous."
He started out as a pilot and did the whole F-14 FRS. DQ'd at the boat with his 1310 pilot wings on.
Went back through and was redesignated an NFO.
There's one at MATSG
I know several guys in that boat. Same reasons as well: non-hackers behind the boat.

I've heard before that Marines who completed both NFO and pilot training were authorized to wear both wings. Anybody actually seen the regs to back this up? Just curious since I can't wear both. As far as Pilot-NFO transitions, like everyone else I've only seen it after a DQ, but surprisingly enough I have known at least one fleet pilot who said he would express interest if such a program existed. Maybe there are more.........
I can't speak for the Marines, but IAW Navy Uniform Regs (5201.2.a), you can only wear one breast insignia from a single category (defined in reference), thus pilot and NFO wings would be unauthorized for simultaneous wear.

Concur. The poster was asking a Marine specific question. I've actually seen a handful of "dual qualed" Marines. I'm familiar with the reg because I was curious if I would be authorized to wear EAWS and ESWS (I'm not). Guess I'll have to wait on that 2 anchor thingy. :icon_viki
