For Barritten....
I work in fraud control for an online merchant. We received a substantial order shipping to an APO...so just a way of verifying the order was on the up and up if you will...never seen that type of thing before either so some personal curiousity was piqued.

SK1 means the person is a Storekeeper First Class. In the Navy a Storekeeper is a Supply Clerk. They are responsible for keeping the Ship supplied with all its needs.
I am not sure about the (SW). I am not up on the latest programs. I think it is Submarine Warfare Qualified but it could also be Surface Warfare Qualified. At any rate a person with the (SW) has gone through a tremendous amount of training and can be very proud of that designation.
S1 DIV probably refers to the Supply Division office on a Navy ship. I don't recognize the CDW. My guess is it has something to do with Computer Data. Again it denotes special and critical skill.
