At my squadron we have both Alpha and Bravo flights. I'm looking for names for them, any ideas?

How about "Alpha Flight" and "Bravo Flight" ..?

Why would you need different names for them?

If you are looking for some team building esprit de corps........just task the flight to pick a name.

If you're looking for something like encampment go with things like Mitchell Flight, Maverick Flight, Eagle Flight, Talon Flight, etc.

If I recall correctly, which I usually do, at my basic encampment we were the Bravo Blitzkrieg. But I have to agree that the names themselves should come from within the flight and not be imposed on the flight.

Bravo flight Battle Toads.

When I first joined, this was the name for Bravo. They had a Kermit the Frog dressed in the Marine dress uniform.
Pretty cool stuff.
CAP is what you make of it. If you don't put anything in to it, you won't get anything out of it.

Kermit?


Not the actual cool Battle Toads?


Cool Mace

Yes, Kermit...

The flight commander that came up with the name is a Marine Corps "freak". If you will? Kermit was a kewl mascot for some time in the squadron.

He is now a Staff Sergeant in the Corps. The name lasted for about two years after he left, but is now just a nice memory in the minds of members that were in at that time.

He passed down the frog to the new flight commander, and I just confirmed that he still has it (he's in the office next to me).

Too bad squadrons stop at 4 or 5 flights...there would be beaucoup names for anything past Echo or Foxtrot.

Well, then, you should be talking to one of those senior members. They are the continuation of the CoC above the cadet portion.

Pretty sure Delta Force is taken and the boys out at Ft. Bragg may not be too happy about a CAP Flight being called Delta Force.. :)



But then they didn't seem to mind the obvious Gears of War (video game) tie in so who knows.

At my Squadron I am Bravo flight commander. Personally, I think team names are a fantastic idea because they build a sense of loyalty to them team. Our team name is the Bravo Blackhawks

Flyboy-F22

We recently formed Bravo Flight and for motivation we call ourselves the Bravo Flight Blackhawks with the phrase "Making the Best Better". Just ask your Flight Sargent to get the flight together and discuss it.
