U.S. Navy Enlisted Rates -More Details
November 12th, 2009
No comments
The use of the word “rank“ for Navy enlisted personnel is incorrect. The term is “rate.” The rating badge is a combination of rate (pay grade, as indicated by the chevrons) and rating (occupational specialty, as indicated by the symbol just above the chevrons).
The insignia here represents a Petty Officer First Class (the rate) who is a Boatswain’s Mate (the rating). A rating badge is worn on the left upper sleeve of all uniforms in grades E-4 through E-6. Chief Petty Officers (E-7 through E-9) wear collar devices on their white and khaki uniforms, and rating badges on their Service Dress Blues.

One of the most enjoyable events I get to participate in is the DON Workforce Town Hall, which we host twice a year during the DON Information Management/Information Technology conferences in San Diego and Virginia Beach.
This session allows me to directly engage with the Cyber/IT Workforce and hear their concerns, whatever they may be. As a matter of fact, I have a few regulars who tee up important questions that I do my best to answer – on the spot – no prompts! Read more…
