SWO Pin...CHECK!

I am one VERY proud wife right now!!! David had his Surface Warfare Officer board today and passed with flying colors! I had no doubt in my mind that he would do anything less than wonderful. I just got off the phone with him and he sounds very relieved, excited and exhausted. I could hear the smile in his voice when he called :) So what does passing his SWO board mean exactly?

Once David was commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Navy, he began his journey towards getting his SWO pin. Yep, this typically takes anywhere from 18-24 months to obtain. It requires them to endure endless months of studying, weeks of training in Newport and securing signatures for tons of additional qualifications related to all aspects of the ship. All of that has led up to today!

After a very long 1.5 hrs of responding to questions and scenarios presented by the CO, XO, and all Department Heads, he is now sporting this shiny new pin on his uniform!

Someone on the ship was able to capture a picture of David after his board so as soon as I get my hands on a copy, I'll post it here :)

I hope this finds everyone doing well! Things here are wonderful and I am anxiously counting down the days until David is home!!! We're very excited because he actually gets to stay home for quite awhile this time, yay!!

Love,
Lisa
