Navy Surface Warfare Officers Can Now Order Special Jackets Approved Just for Them

3 Aug 2020
Military.com | By Gina Harkins

The Navy's new jacket, available exclusively to surface warfare officers, is now available for order.

Active-duty and Reserve SWOs can submit their order forms to Naval Surface Forces to get the unisex black leather jacket the Navy authorized for their community earlier this year. The order form must be submitted on signed letterhead to be processed.

The jacket is meant to build esprit de corps in the community and reflect the warfighter expertise that comes with earning a SWO pin, Navy officials said when the uniform item was announced. It's similar to the bomber jacket worn by naval aviators.

"Those who wear the jacket will be easily identified as a part of a long lineage of professional ship drivers and maritime warfighters," Vice Adm. Richard Brown, commander of Naval Surface Forces, said in January.

Glad you did that font thing. I'll put any QP in their use of a battle axe (random draw) against any SWO (random draw) in driving a ship without scratching it.

Looks like they slapped a velcro patch over the "members only" tag.

Wouldn't it have been simpler, less expensive and just as effective to give them a beret of their own.
