Surface Warfare Association Annual Awards Symposium The Surface Navy Association maintains a dynamic awards program to award our Sailors, Cuttermen, Dependents, future Sailors and Civilian military supporters through a wide spectrum of opportunities to include recognition and monetary awards. Recognition takes place annually with major awards presented at the Annual Symposium held in Alexandria, VA. These awards recognize some members of our community whose achievements, in a variety of pursuits, have warranted individual recognition for their contribution to the legacy of Surface Warriors. These individuals are not the complete list of those worthy of such recognition. They, in a sense, are representative of all of our heroes, past and present, who have served their Navy and their nation in the surface ships of the Fleet. These awardees have, however, distinguished themselves as being exceptionally worthy representatives of that larger list, and exemplify the qualities that have marked the Surface Warrior over our history. Classification: Recognition Eligibility: Candidates will be junior Surface Warfare Officers (SWO) and junior Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialists (ESWS), United States Navy, and United States Naval Reserve, who have exhibited sustained excellence in the operational art of Surface Warfare as demonstrated on US Navy surface ships completing deployments during the calendar years ending on 30 September. Candidates must be grade E-3 through E-7, W-2 through W-4, or O-1 through O-4. Clearly, this award focuses on and recognizes the superior operational performance by our junior leaders. Selection: 1) Upon return of the deploying group from extended deployment of 120 days or longer, is requested to identify one SWO officer and one ESWS Sailor from the deployed ships' crews who displayed exceptional execution of Surface Warfare Operations during the deployment. Every aspect of Operational Surface Warfare should be taken into account when considering selectees. These aspects are not limited to, but include the following: Deck Seamanship, Shiphandling, Weapons Control, Engineering, Maintenance, Damage Control, Navigation, Welldeck & Flightdeck performance, Fiscal Management, Leadership, Training, Command & Control, Communications, Food Service, and Administration. Selectees should have demonstrated superior action or commendable results in one or more of these significant Surface Warfare disciplines. 2) Selectees' accomplishments will be reviewed by the SNA Awards Committee during October of each year. One officer and one enlisted member each from Atlantic and Pacific commands deemed by the Awards Committee to be especially worthy of further recognition will be proposed to the Executive Committee for invitation to attend the annual SNA Symposium in order to receive a special award. 3) While no truly worthy SWO or ESWS member should be overlooked in the nomination processes, the target recipients for these awards are Enlisted Members, E-3 to E-7 and Officers, W-2 to W-4, O-1 to O-
