229DAKGift idea for woman graduation Navy ROTC
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.]

KP93As 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!

pedropcolaDon’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.

Maybe one that says "before you ask, did the chief already say No?"

jhe888You can get any number of nice watches for your budget, and for me, that would be a great gift.

Skull LeaderOk, 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.

AglifterThis 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.
