Honor the Rate. Wear the Wings.
The Aviation Warfare Systems Operator (AW) rating is one of the most demanding and versatile enlisted designations in the U.S. Navy. Naval Aircrewmen serve as the mission-critical backbone of Navy aviation — operating radar and sonar systems, performing rescue swimmer duties, manning aerial gun positions, executing airborne mine countermeasures, and maintaining inflight systems across fixed and rotary wing aircraft.
This classic crewneck sweatshirt proudly displays the AW rate insignia — the iconic winged design with stars — a symbol earned through rigorous training and unwavering dedication to the mission.
