Navy enlisted ranks in order software#
There are currently 30 designated specialties (e.g., electronic techs, software experts, pilots). Warrant Officers are highly skilled specialists who are knowledgeable in their technical expertise. They have a special program where exceptional chief petty officers can receive a presidential commission and a promotion to chief warrant officer. The Navy has a long tradition of appointing experienced enlisted service members as warrant officers. Enlisted Navy ranks (rates) are broken down into three levels: Apprenticeships (E-1 through E-3), petty officers (E-4 through E-6), and chief petty officers (E-7 through E-9).
The rate of an enlisted Sailor is determined by their rating badge, a combination of a rate (pay-grade) badge of stripes or chevrons and rating (occupational specialty), represented by the symbol just above the stripes or chevrons on the left sleeve of most uniforms. Unlike the other military branches, which organize service members according to ranks, the Navy categorizes its Sailors according to rates. Enlisted SailorsĮnlisted Sailors wear chevrons to indicate their rank or rate. Navy, ranks are divided into three groups: Enlisted (E-1 through E-9), Warrant Officers (W-2 through W-5), and Commissioned Officers (O-1 through O-10).
Naval officers wear different rank devices depending upon their uniform (insignia pins on their collars and flight caps, stripes on their shoulder boards, or stripes on their lower coat sleeves) to indicate their rank. Enlisted Sailors wear chevrons to indicate their rank or rate. Whether you are an enlisted Sailor or commissioned officer, your rank will determine many of the duties you’ll be expected to perform successfully.
