Official Uncle Carls School for Gifted Captains Expeditionary Warfare School Patch — Where Captains Go to Get Smart
Congratulations on your selection. Now sit down and read 4,000 pages.
Expeditionary Warfare School (EWS) is the Marine Corps' career-level professional military education program for company grade officers, located at Marine Corps University aboard MCB Quantico, Virginia. Formerly known as Amphibious Warfare School, EWS was redesignated in 2002 when it merged with the Command and Control Systems Course. The 41-week resident course trains Marine captains — along with select officers from other services and allied nations — in MAGTF operations, command and control, and naval expeditionary warfare. The curriculum includes detailed study of operations at sea, from the sea, and ashore, with emphasis on urban terrain and contested littorals. "Uncle Carl's School for Gifted Captains" is the unofficial, tongue-in-cheek name that generations of Marine officers have given EWS — because nothing says "professional military education" like a morale patch with serious X-Men energy. If you survived the reading list, the seminars, and the staff rides, you earned this.
Perfect For: EWS graduates and instructors, Marine captains who powered through the Quantico schoolhouse, staff officers who appreciate a good PME meme, and anyone who knows that "Uncle Carl" is the only professor with a sense of humor about making you a better warfighter.
Uncle Carl's — where Marine captains become gifted, one seminar at a time.
If you want to swap patches on/off gear, choose hook & loop (velcro). If you’re attaching permanently to uniforms or fabric, choose sew-on. If you want quick application on compatible fabric, choose iron-on / heat seal (when offered). Backing options are shown on the page and update based on the variant you select.
Size is shown on the product page and updates with the variant you select (example: 3"). If you’re mounting on a hat or small panel, choose smaller sizes; for plate carriers and display boards, larger sizes fit better.
If the product is officially licensed, it will say “Officially Licensed” in the title and/or in the product details. If it doesn’t, it’s still a legitimate product—just not part of a licensed program.
Yes. If you see a note like “bulk reruns available,” that means we can support group orders or reruns. If you don’t see it, contact us with the unit/squadron and quantity and we’ll confirm options.
Yes—custom solutions are available (patches, name tags, lanyards, apparel). Use the custom request page and include artwork, size, backing preference, and quantity.
