Also, if she does get a sword, will any of her uniforms require alterations in order to wear it? How much will that cost? [Will receiving the gift entail costs on her part.] _________________________________________________________________________ “A man’s treatment of a dog is no indication of the man’s nature, but his treatment of a cat is.

As almost 30 year SWO, Sword required uniform item for LCDR (04) and above —- optional for LT (03) and below. Parents purchased mine for commissioning. Other consideration might be a good set of personal binoculars (Steiner) or comfortable black boots (steel toed)...that would run the spectrum of high to low and practical... Sail safe Yall!

Don’t get a sword. I got a sword upon graduation from USNA and it has never been used other than my son has it somewhere doing something with it. Lol. Only time I ever used a sword for anything was sword arches at weddings. On the other hand, there are some very nice rings that are made from the warfare pin (SWO) that is made into a fine piece of jewelry. I have always liked these and they age well. | |||

More good ideas, thanks. I like the idea of quality binoculars. | |||

You can get any number of nice watches for your budget, and for me, that would be a great gift. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Ok, now for my serious answer. If she is getting a sword from another family member, how about a display case for it so she can store it while it's not in use. Display/"I love me case" for all of the coins and what nots she'll be earning during her career. And a rubber ducky.  | |||

This would sound odd, but if the budget is $500, and you do want to do a watch - I'd say a Japanese made G Shock. I really like my GW 5000, which was about $320, but resin. The metal ones will be around the $500 mark. | |||
