1921 - 2021 AD STRONG
In the early stages of Naval Aviation, our occupation was performed by Machinist's Mates with an aviation specialty, but qualifying for the aviation specialty required meeting the standards for the general rating as well as those required for the aviation specialty.

The Aviation Machinist's Mate rating was established on July 1, 1921, along with Aviation Metalsmith, Aviation Carpenter's Mate, and Aviation Rigger. These were the first ratings used specifically for aviation and based solely on aviation requirements. Aviation Machinist's Mate is the only one of the four that is still in use today, making it the oldest U.S. Naval Aviation Rating still in service.

In April, 1948, the rating's abbreviation was changed from AMM to AD, but the insignia has not changed since 1921.

Kena Ramírez Dillon designed the Mechcellence logo, with the help and suggestions of fellow Mechs; Kevin Smith, William Martin, Miguel Rosinski, and Adrian Kraus..
