Wzorowy Marynarz

Model Sailor (Wzorowy Marynarz) is an honorary title awarded to a Polish Army soldier.

It was established by an order of the Minister of National Defence in 1958. It was awarded to conscript sailors and students at the officers’ school for good results in combat and political training.

From 2002 to 2010, the title was awarded for very good performance of official duties and very good training results to privates and non-commissioned officers serving compulsory or extended compulsory military service who had completed at least six months of active military service.
