I don't believe it's a carrier based unit. You might check out one of the Naval Air Station units. A wild guess is that it might be a Combat Air Support Unit stationed at either NAS Hilo or NAS- Barber's Point.

It also might be a training unit.

Sorry that's the best I can do - and that's after poring thru the entire Official Monogram US Navy USMC Aircraft Color Guide Vol 2.
 

Parris Island might be reasonable. If it's a training unit, the markings don't seem to fit the USNavy protocol which leads me to think it might be a USMC unit. And Parris Island would fit for that.
