Bronze and Silver Anchor Awards

The Pukin' Dogs were recently awarded the Bronze and Silver Anchors. The Bronze Anchor signifies FIGHTER WING ATLANTIC's choice for the best squadron at taking care of its people. Two of the things considered for the award are personnel retention and promotion. This award is essentially FIGHTER WING's recognition of the Dog's achievements for number of shipmates re-enlisting and working their way up the ranks. These individuals continued to excel even under the demanding work schedule over the last year. Not only did they excel, but made the decision to continue to put forth the tremendous effort and endure the personal sacrifices that are required to serve in the finest navy in the world. Over 45% of our first term members, over 50% of our second term members, and 100% of our Career members reenlisted. This means we had an overall retention average of 67%. OUTSTANDING!

The Silver Anchor is in recognition for the same achievement, but from among the commands under AIRLANT. This means The Pukin' Dogs were also chosen from among the aviation commands on the East Coast, regardless of community(F-14, F/A-18, S-3, etc.).

Sincere thanks and appreciation to the individuals who have made these commitments and sacrifices. No money or fame makes them serve; just a deep sense of duty and loyalty. They truly embody the ideals of the U.S. Navy -- Honor, Courage, Commitment.
