Two P-3 units, Special Projects Patrol Squadron 1 (VPU-1) and VP-10, both at NAS Brunswick, Maine, recently received the Avionics Master Chief Petty Officer Donald M. Neal Awards for 2007 for best maintenance department. The awards, presented yearly to P-3 squadrons, are determined by the commander of the Navy’s Patrol and Reconnaissance Group for each US coast. A separate award, known as the Golden Wrench, is presented to the Naval Reserve squadron with the best maintenance department. The Golden Wrench awards are sponsored by Lockheed Martin. Each unit receives a permanent plaque and is allowed to keep the rotating trophy for one year. A pin for each squadron member is also presented.
