Alright, the Nazi looking eagle on your shoulder makes you a petty officer of some sort. I got the ribbons from Meritorious Unit down to Pistol Marksman. It's the wings I'm having a hard time with. I assume you fly but aren't an aviator because you are petty officer. They also seem to have an anchor in the shield as opposed to behind it where it ought to be. So, please tell me about the wings...
My title is AO1 (AW)- The wings signify the AW part. Aviation Ordnaceman, First Class, Air Warfare Specialist
I work with F-18s, and it just means that I had to read a lot of stuff that wasn't required of me, and learn a bunch of crap that didn't directly affect my ability to do my job. I answered the questions, passed the test, and got a pin to show for it. That picture was taken at the end of my last deployment, about 2 years ago. I was a PO2 in that pic PO1 now. AO1(AW). I'm currently an F-18 weapons systems instructor in VA Beach.
