Navy Boy has Earned New Pin

Hey Everyone;
 
Time for me to be bragging mom
 
 
that article explains the pin which Andre has just finished earning - most Navy people don't take the time to earn the pin - it doesn't bring a Pay Increase but the Respect level has been Increased due to his uniform now showing that he knows what he's talking about since he's worked in every station on the ship
 
Andre's pin is the Silver pin & below is what I copied from Wiki-pedia about the pin he's earned
 

[edit] Enlisted Specialist

The Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist Pin (also known as the "ESWS pin") is authorized for wear by any enlisted member of the United States Navy who is permanently stationed aboard a navy afloat command and completes the Enlisted Surface Warfare qualification program and personal qualification standards (PQS). The Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist Badge must be obtained within eighteen (18) months of reporting to a ship, if in the paygrade of E-5(Petty Officer Second Class) and above. It has become common for commanding officers of Navy ships to award the ESWS pin to those in paygrades E-2 and E-3 after they complete the requsite qualifications. Those failing to qualify are unable to re-enlist in their current rate. On each assignment to a new sea-going command, if Surface Warfare is the sailor's primary community, the sailor must re-qualify ESWS, though requalification standards are somewhat accelerated, and are often basically refreshers. Sailors for whom ESWS is their secondary community (mostly those in the Air Warfare community) are not required to requalify.
An enlisted person who has qualified for his or her ESWS Pin places the designator (SW) after his or her rate and rating; for example, Boatswain's Mate Second Class Jones, having qualified for his ESWS Pin, is identified as BM2(SW) Jones.
For those enlisted personnel who are subsequently commissioned as officers, and receive a Surface Warfare Officer Badge, the Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist Badge is replaced since Navy regulations do not permit the wearing of both the Enlisted and Officer Surface Warfare Badge simultaneously. However, ESWS may still be worn if the officer does not earn a SWO badge, but rather a specialization in another community (e.g., the officer becomes a SEAL, Diver, EOD, pilot or Naval Flight Officer).
Unlike other warfare pins available to both enlisted and officers, the ESWS and SWO pins differ by more than just color (gold for officers and silver for enlisted is a common theme in U.S. Navy uniforms). The blade weapons behind the hull on the SWO pin are swords. The blade weapons on the enlisted pin are cutlasses. This can clearly be seen in the curvature of the blades and the shape of the handguards. This derives from the sword being a symbol of naval officers and their authority, while cutlasses were traditionally the sidearm of the enlisted men.

Fwd: Vomit prayer

Praise the Lord & Thank You all the Prayer Warriors the prayers do seem to be working - I'm seeing results in the natural world
 
 
This was forwarded to me & I'm requesting the rest of the week for you to lift me up in prayer using this prayer as I will be fasting & praying for the remainder of the week 
 
I could use some lifting up in prayer right now
satan has been working overtime on me & the family
 
As some of you may know I've been getting over the shock from a former member of our group to whom I opened my home has stabbed me in the back & returned evil for the good that was done for her, but now satan is hitting me while I'm just starting to recover from that deception but God has exposed where satan is working hard to distract Byron from his slow start towards home by having a new girl at his job who may not realise that Byron's married & looks like she's going through her own marital troubles flirting with Byron & he's started going for the bait that satan has set before him
 
Please lift me up in prayer that I may be able to have the strength that I need to make it through this trial & give me the guidance that I'll need for that time when Deborah & I end up talking on the phone since she does work at Comcast & I may very well end up speaking to her when calling the job for Byron - Give me the words that will direct her away from Byron & that will lead her towards the help that she needs for what I suspect are her own marital troubles & most importantly that she be convicted of her sins & come to full repentance & salvation before this affair goes any further
 
Thank You & God Bless You for Your Prayers are greatly Appreciated

Subject: Vomit prayer
To: powerofprayingwife@yahoo.com

When I pray the vomit prayer, I start off first with the hedges of thorn prayers...
 
Dear Heavenly Father in the Name of Jesus,
 
I ask that you place hedges of thorns around my Covenant Husband Byron and hedges of thorns around Deborah Budd, so they clash, lose interest and leave, Lord break crush & destroy any & all soul ties and ungodly friendships that satan has set to snare Byron
 
Lord remove all strongholds & family curses that exists & send Deborah back to her own husband or to whom ever it is that she is to be with & make Byron in her eyes to be as nothing
 
I ask you to make Deborah bitter as wormwood to Byron, sharp as a two edged sword to Byron, and loud and ignorant to Byron. Let Deborah's very smell as she walks past become vile to Byron so that he detests what ever brand of perfume that she wear & becomes like dung in the air to him
 
I also ask you to make Byron sick to his stomach every time he hears Deborah's voice Lord let Deborah's voice be like finger nails scratching upon a blackboard 
Please fill Byron with disgust everytime she comes near him or touches him.
Lord just as ice is cold & hard make Deborah's touch be cold & hard & open Byron's eyes & heart so that Byron only sees Theresa as the source for  warm loving & caring arms to go to for his comfort 
 
I ask that you make me Theresa, Byron's covenant wife far more precious than rubies and jewels in his eyes
Lord open Byron's eyes to the valuable wife & the blessing from God that he has been Blessed with 
Lord allow Byron to see Theresa as with the eyes when they were first dating when Byron was full of love & couldn't stay away
I ask that you Lord turn Byron's heart back towards home to stay & dwell & to take pleasure only from the fountain that You have Blessed & that the Marriage Bed not be defiled but the only source of refreshing to Byron & Theresa
 
I base my prayer upon the command of Your Word, whom God has joined together, let no man put asunder.
In Jesus' Name I pray that You cover Byron & Theresa in the Blood of Jesus.
Lord heal this family which has endured pain from this seperation so that we all may be fully restored & reconciled first to You Lord & then as a family serving you in the ways that you want us to
Thank you Lord for hearing and answering my prayers.
Amen


Love Your Sister in Christ
