[edit] Badges?

I've never heard anyone refer to their ESWS or SWO pin as a badge... EVER. We always call it either "ESWS pin", "ESWS qual", or just plain "ESWS." The article name should be called "Surface Warfare Qualification" in my opinion. Comments? Supersquid 17:05, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

The full title that normally appears in officer records is "Surface Warfare Officer Qualification Badge", base don records I've seen at NPRC. ESWS is usually listed as "Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist Pin". The title of this article is all encompassing to the general collection of the many different SWO badges, ESWS Pins, Med/Supply Badges, SpecOps SWO Badge, etc. -Husnock 20:02, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Yeah I can see that... makes sense. However, what about non-merged warfare qualification articles, such as EAWS and so forth? I'm thinking there should be a standardized way of handling warfare qualifications... like a template. I'm still relatively new to Wikipedia, so I'm unsure how to get a consensus for this going.
