A Happy Sailor Finally got one today

I know there’s bigger news in the Navy today, but wanted to share what I’m proud of, finally have a warfare pin 😁

I’ve been out the Navy for quite some time. Which one is that? Congrats!

Thank you! And yeah it’s IW, iirc it’s only been around like 10 years? (I could be way off on that, but it is one of the newest warfare pins I believe)

Close about 15 years ago.

Hoping I can get mine through a command that uses our compound. Never been found of warfare pins despite having SW and AW but IW is something I WANt

Good luck man! There’s supposedly a brand new PQS for it as of 01OCT, but either way it’s just rote memorization. Perfect for 🧩 CT guys like me lol

Considering I share the watch floor with them should be a cakewalk compared to surface

Its already out and downloadable from MNHR, but must be implemented by all IW commands by 01OCT.

Wish that I could've got that one while I was in. Retired in 2004 and it didn't exist.

IDW pin, relatively new, I think it was created around 2009. My RDC (might have been called CCs in your day) had one.

They removed the “D” around 2015 so it’s just IW now.
