Fleet AW Association
The Fleet AW Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of interest in the Naval Aircrewman community (AWs; formerly known as Aviation Warfare Systems Operators and as Antisubmarine Warfare Operators); the advancement of Naval Aircrewman systems operations; the dissemination of technical, educational and scientific information relating to Naval Aircrewman systems operations; and furtherance of the public welfare.
In 2008, the AW rating was re-named the Naval Aircrewman rating and all enlisted naval aircrew were consolidated into this rating as AWs. This added several speciality ratings: AWR (Tactical ASW Helicopter), AWS (Tactical AMCM/Utility Helicopter), AWO (Operator), AWF (Mechanical), and AWV (Avionics)
