hello Jim,
is that the award called "water wings"? a couple of friends who are submariners and aviators told me that is the award given to the surface guys so they think they are equal to them.
cheers,
Bruce

I had never heard them called water wings. But if that did come from a brown shoe, I can assume they were talking about the ESWS pin.
