F 1 9 i I l ! s 1 I 1 ! i 1 3 1 EWS The Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist pin represents one of the greatest achievements for the career sailor in the surface navy. The qualification helps sailors advance to and also helps them to understand their shipmates better by familiarizing them with other rates. Per- haps the most tangible advantage of gain- ing ESWS qualification is the recognition that comes with it. The pin tells others that the person Wearing it has shown great initiative, and discipline to obtain it and that he can therefore bear greater tI'U.St and I'CSpO1'1Sibilil1y.
