Has anyone ever been approved to wear the Navy Warfare Insignia after transferring to the Army? i.e. Air Warfare (AW), Surface Warfare (SW) etc.

I've never seen it. But then, I haven't known too many Army folks that were prior Navy. Submit all pertinent documents for HRC consideration to see if they approve it. Never know until you ask HRC.

It’s a permanent award for which the Army doesn’t have an equivalent award. If it’s in your 201/iPerms you can wear it.

AR670 has this to say. "3) Badges from other U.S. Services that indicate career fields are not authorized for wear, such as USAF medical insignia, or badges used to identify the duty, function, or classification of the wearer. Some examples are USAF fire protection, air training command instructor, security police, or the Naval aviation warfare specialist."

I knew a MSG who wore his Dolphins so I'm sure there's a way.

Good evening CW2 Private RallyPoint Member. Excellent post. Thank You for sharing this Chief. Excellent question. I would have to say no because the Army doesn't authorize it. Unfortunately, I do have a EAWS pin and couldn't wear it on My Class A's when I active duty Army.
