What does the updated ESWS program mean for You?

How long does it take to become an ESWS sailor?
Sailors will not be required to enroll in a command’s ESWS program until they reach a journeyman or master-level (E-5 – E-9). These Sailors will be enrolled in their ESWS program after 12 months onboard, or at the commanding officer’s discretion, and from there will have 18 months to qualify in ESWS.
What are the best resources to study for the ESWS program?
There are many resources to study for this program but the best resource will be your fellow shipmates who are qualified. You will be able to view most ESWS topics such as ship, aircraft, and systems online.
Do you have to walk away from your first command with ESWS?
The new instruction will do away with the requirement for all first-tour Sailors to walk away from their first sea-duty command with their ESWS qualification. Sailors will not be required to enroll in a command’s ESWS program until they reach a journeyman or master-level (E-5 – E-9).
