SW - Steelworker
Navy Steelworkers are those special few who have the chance as adults to keep on building with their hands. As an SW, you’ll get on-the-job experience welding, performing specialized metalwork and crafting steel structures the Navy needs to complete its missions. And you’ll do it all while maintaining combat readiness, able to defend your unit at a moment’s notice. “We Build. We Fight.” is the Navy Seabees’ motto and Sailors like you own it.
