E.S.W.S. Granted only to those individuals who have dis- played a thorough knowledge and understanding of the overall ship ' s operation, the Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist (ESWS) designation is indicative of superior performance. To qualify to wear the ESWS pin, a crewmem- ber must be proficient in his own field and possess a thorough working knowledge of the ship and the Navy. When his PQS is completed the candidate first takes a comprehensive written exam. If he pas- ses the exam, he is then recommended for the Commanding Officer s Oral Board. Upon success- fully completing the Oral Board, the candidate is awarded his ESWS pin and the SW ' designation is added to his rate. This challenging program is serving to en- hance professionalism throughout the Modern Sur- face Navy and those who have earned their pin can take great pride in their accomplishment. Congratulations to the following Surface Warriors who completed their ESWS qualifica- tions during MIDEAST 88 89: NCCM(SW) BRODERICK GMC(SW) HOOD GSEC(SW) OSTERDOCK STGC(SW) EDMONDSON FCC(SW) MACDONALD ENC(SW) MCkEEHEN FCC(SW) FRANkLIN SMI(SW) KUJIUJI BMI(SW) ACOSTA BMI(SW) COOPER OSI(SW) BENANDER STGI(SW) ADDEO STGI(SW) GREEN STGI(SW) NASH MSI(SW) GASPERETTI FCI(SW) BRUNTZEL FCI(SW) HOWLAND FCI(SW) SAMENDINGER FCI(SW) SCHRAND GMGI(SW) HARRIS RMI(SW) GUZMAN RMI(SW) JORDAN QMI(SW) MURRAY ICI(SW) PEPPER ENI(SW) OVALLES TM2(SW) RUECKERT DC2(SW) RUFF RM2(SW) MARTIN RM2(SW) AQUININGOC FC2(SW) BRENTS FC2(SW) HARM GSE2(SW) KOONS GSM2(SW) BAILEY GSM2(SW) HALL GSM2(SW) CARNEVALE GSM2(SW) FONTILLAS HM2(SW) DORSEY GMM2(SW) BALES GMM2(SW) CHRISTMAN HT2(SW) SYkOWSkI HT2(SW) HARkNESS HT29(SW) WALSWORTH STo2(SW) LEE STG2(SW) SHEPHERD DS2{SW) MERGLER BM2(SW) MANN 0S2(SW) MARSALISL 0S2(SW) ROSENDAHL EM2(SW) MOSER GMG2(SW) VAUGHN EN2(SW) CONWAY AW2(SW) RONZELLO HM3(SW) GILBERT EN3(SW) GUZALLIS EW3(SW) JACKSON FC3(SW) PROkOP DC3(SW) WALTHER SMSN(SW) ADAMS SMSN(SW) ANDERSON FCSN(SW) ROBERTS Congratulations, also, to LTJG MANNING, LTJG SNELGROVE.
