Navy Seabee Combat Warfare – Enlisted Badge Criteria: Awarded to U.S. Navy personnel having completed the prescribed Naval Construction Battalion Personal Qualification Standards (PQS), entailing required coursework, qualification tasks standards, and a written examination. Upon final completion of all prescribed training, an oral board must be successfully completed before the Seabee Combat Warfare Pin may be presented. The Seabee Combat Warfare Badge is primarily presented to members of the Civil Engineer Corps (CEC) or the Construction Battalions (CB); however, the pin is not limited only to this branch of the Navy. Any sailor of any rate or any officer can qualify, given they are assigned to a qualifying unit (NMCB, UCT, or ACB) and have completed the prescribed course of instruction. The Badge is issued in two degrees: silver for enlisted personnel and gold for officers. It features an armed Seabee, superimposed over a crossed sword and rifle atop oak leaves. The Bee is also the insignia for the Navy Seabees as a whole.
