The cutterman insignia is a device awarded by the United States Coast Guard to represent service aboard a Coast Guard cutter. The pin is awarded on a temporary basis after six months of sea time, qualification in required watch stations, successful completion of an oral or written board, and receiving a recommendation from their unit's commanding officer. The award becomes permanent after 5 years of cumulative time afloat.[1]

The version awarded to officers is gold-toned, while the version awarded to enlisted members is pewter-toned.

The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary also issues a version of the cutterman insignia to represent service serving a Coast Guard cutter provided they meet the criteria provided by the Auxiliary and the Coast Guard. The insignia design is identical in size and form to the cutterman insignia. A pewter auxiliary emblem is superimposed in the center of the bronze-tone stylized waves.[2]
