RATINGS--RANKS: ENLISTED MEN
The pay grade of an enlisted man is the level or step of advancement which
he has reached. There are 9 different pay grades or step levels of advancement
established for the enlisted man: E-l, E-2
}
E-3, E-4, E-5, E-6, E-7
s
E-S, and
E-9. The E in each of these pay grades means enlis ted.
In the Navy, a rating is an occupation or field of work. It is the
specialty which the Navy enlisted man chooses as his career. An occupation is
the job you have, or the work you do. A career is a lifetiit job, or the work
you plan to do most of your life. A rating is given an enlisted man only after
he has successfully completed his training in the lower pay grades of E-l, E-2,
and E-3; and by competing in Navy-wide examinations. To compete means to take
part with others to see who is the best. Vhen he is given his rating, an enlisted
man becomes a petty officer at the pay grade level of E-4.
A ~2it> officer is an enlisted man who holds a rating, one who has learned
an occupation, and who is a specialist in a chosen field. There are six
different levels of petty officer. The pay grade and title of each are as
follows:
Pav Grade
E-4 Petty Officer Third Class
E-5 Petty Officer Second Class
E-6 Pettv Officer First Class
Pay Grade _______ Title ____________
E-7 Chief Petty Officer
E-8 Senior Chief Petty Office
E-9 Master Chief Petty Office
The insignia or marks that identify each of the different levels of petty
officer are shown below. An insignia is a mark or sign which identifies the
rank, the authority, or the honor a person has been given. Learn to recognize

The pay graces E-l through E-3 are known as general rates. The pay grades

rates. When a recruit first enters
the Navy in the general rates, he is trained in a general way in one of 7
different occupational groups. These general groups include the following:
seaman, fireman, airman, construction, hospital, denial, a^.a steward. When
an enlisted man is promoted with a rating into the petty officer rates, his
job is more specific and more specialized.
An apprenticeship is a training period or the time a person spends in
learning an occupation. In the Navy, the first three pay grades, known as
general rates, are apprenticeships, because this is when a recruit is being
trained for a new career. An apprentice is a person in an apprenticeship.
In the second pay grade of the general rates, E-2, the word "apprentice" is
part of the title. For example, if a man is training in the general group of
seaman, his title in pay grade E-2 would be Seaman Apprentice; or if he were
training in the general group of hospital, his title would be Hospital
Apprentice.

CAPS
The visor on a cap is the front part that sticks out over the face and keeps
the sun from getting into your eyes. It is the part of the cap that you usually
hold when you put the cap on or take it off. Another name for this part of
the cap is bill; the words "visor" and "bill" -ean the same thing.
The difference between a cap and a hat is that a hat instead
of a visor. The brim, unlike the bill, projects way around.

A sleeve is the part of a coat or shirt that covers the arm. On the
sleeves of both officers and enlisted men, you will find different stripes.
A stripe is a mark or colored line. These stripes and other marks you see
on the sleeve are called sleeve markings, and they tell you both the rank
-and corps of the person.

The group rate, mark is worn by enlisted .men who are in the first three
pay grades. It is the first mark a new recruit sews en his uniform. It shows
two things: the pay grade level of the person wearing it, and the apprenticeship
for which he has been selected. The -mark consists of diagonal stripes placed
in either a white or blue square. Z-i^so^al stripes are stripes that run in
a slanting direction, from the lower left corner of the square to the upper
right corner. The color of the stripes indicates which particular
apprenticeship has been chosen.

The insignia which rated enlisted men wear on their sleeve to show their
rate and rating is called a rating badge. A badge, like an insignia, is a mark
or a sign that identifies rank, authority, occupation, or honors received.
This badge consists of an eagle, which is a large bird, placed above chevrons,
which indicate the wearer's rate, and a specialty mark which indicates his
rating. Chevrons are V-shaped stripes placed below the specialty mark, or the
curved stripe placed above the specialty mark. These stripes indicate the
different petty officer rates. The rating badge is worn on the left sleeve.

Service stripes are 7-inch long diagonal stripes worn on the lower part
of the left sleeve. Each stripe represents 4 years of service in the Navy
or any other branch of the military. These stripes are also commonly called

UNIFORMS
As a Navy enlisted nan, you are required to take care of the clothing you
have beer, issued, and to keep it neat and clean. You are also required to mark
each individual item in a certain way so that it can be easily identified as
yours. In this half of the unit, we are going to talk about some of the different
articles of clothing. Learn to identify by name and function each cf the
following:
A duffel caz is a large canvas
bag which Navy personnel use to
transport their personal items.
Canvas is a very strong, thick type
of cloth.
Dungarees are working
clothes which a Navy enlisted man
wears while working at his job on
base or aboard ship. He is not
allowed to wear dungarees when he
is off base or when he leaves the
ship to go ashore.
The dungaree uniform
consists of blue cotton pants,
blue pullover jumper, and a blue
baseball-type cap. A jumper is a
loose-fitting type of shirt the
bottom part of which is not placed
inside the pants. A pullover
jumper is one you pull over your
head to put on. (Note: The old
dungaree uniform which is still in
use consists of blue denim pants,
blue cotton chambray shirt, and a
blue baseball-type cap or white
hat.) Denim is a strong type of
cloth used to make haavy-duty work
clothes. A chambray shirt is one
that has white threads mixed in
with the blue to give it a whitish
blue color.

A peaaoat is a heavy short coat that is worn
as an overcoat by enlisted men when the
weather is cold. It is dark navy blue in
color. An overcoat is a warm, full
length, heavy coat that is worn over your
other clothing in the winter when it is
cold.
Figure 4.Peacoat
A rainc'oa.t is a full length, lightweight
coat made of water-repellant material. A
raincoat, is worn when it rains. A
raincoat is not heavy like an overcoat. That
is why we say it is lightweight. We say that
the material of a raincoat is
water-repellant because it repels or stops
water from passing through.
Figure 5.Raincoat
A .j-zc<et is a short coat that reaches about
halfway down the body. Enlisted T.en wear
a jacket with their working uniform when it
is slightly cold. If the weather is
colder, they would probably wear a peacoat
which is heavier and warmer.
cr
Figure 6.Jacket
A glove is a cloth or leather covering for
the hand which has an opening for each
finger and thumb. Leather is the skin of
animals such as horses, cows, or sheep.
Gloves are worn to protect the hands while
you are working or to keep them warm when
it is cold.
Figure 7.Glove
A neckerchief is a piece of navy blue cloth
36-inches square which enlisted men wear
around their necks with certain uniforms.
When the neckerchief is worn, it is rolled
and placed under the collar of the enlisted
man's jumper.

An undershirt is the clothing you wear on the
upper part of your body under your shirt or
jumper. In the Navy, the undershirt is
white and has short sleeves.
drawers
Dreaders are the clothing that is worn on
the lower part of your body under your
pants.
Figure 9
Look at the pockets in figure 10. Shirts and
pants have pockets for carrying money,
cigarettes, and other small articles. Pockets
in work clothes are usually larger than pockets
of a dress uniform. The pea-coat pockets are
even larger. In some dress uniforms, pockets
are just for decoration, especially the pockets
in a shirt or coat.

label
A label is a small white strip of cloth that
is sewn on the inside of certain articles
of clothing issued in the Navy. These small
strips of cloth have two lines on them, one
for your name, and the other for your social
security number. When you mark your
clothes, you should use these labels if
they are provided.
Figure 12
A hem is the edge of a cloth article that
is made by rolling or folding back an
edge and sewing it tight. Names or
.initials are sometimes marked on the
hems of towels or shirts.

The waistband is the fitted band that forms
the top edge of a pair of trousers or drawers,
or the bottom edge of a jacket or sweater.
When marking trousers and drawers, you are
usually told to mark the waistband.
BOAT'S BELL SYSTEM
Besides being used on buoys, bells have other uses. On powerboats the
coxswain muse use bells to signal directions to the engineer. Noise from the
engine prevents the coxswain from giving directions by mouth. Every boat crew
adheres to a standard system of bell signals. As a seaman, it is necessary for
you to know these bell signals. The ceil code is as follows :
1 bell .... ahead slow
2 bells .... stop rotation of propeller
3 bells .... back slow
4 bells .... full speed (in the direction the boat is traveling
at the time the signal is given)
If you are running the boat at 1 bell (ahead slow) , 4 bells means full
speed ahead. If you are running the boat at 3 bells (back slow), 4 bells
means full speed back.
It is important to remember that bell signals are always given in order,
and no required signal may be omitted.
1. The coxswain uses bells to signal _______________ to the engineer.
2. Every boat crew uses a ________________ system of bell signals.
3. If you were the coxswain of a boat and you wanted the boat to go back
slow, you would signal _________________ bells.
4. Two bells is the signal to _________________________________ .
5. When the engineer hears 4 bells, he moves the boat _______________
WATCHES
t
If you are a member of a ship's crew, you will be expected to stand watch.
You have already learned that a watch is a period of duty, normally four hours.
A watch also refers to the location of the man on duty such as the forecastle watch
and the bridge watch.
Security watches require a variety of navy skills. When you are assigned to-
a security watch, you are responsible for guarding some particular object, person,
or place. You must protect the Navy and its property from any kind of damage.

NAVY CUSTOMS AND COURTESY
To be ?oia>tecy.s means co be well mannered and show respect. Another word
tor courteous is polite, lour^esij is the act of being courteous; or, in other
words, polite behavior. Courtesy is shown in many ways in the Mavy. For
example, you show courtesy when you salute an officer, or when you hear the
national ar.'hsrr. and oor^.e to attention. When a U.S. seaman salutes, he raises
his right hand to the tip of his hat or the visor of his cap. To come to
attention is to stand tall and hold the body ersct. Erect means straight.
A national anthem is the national song of a countrv.

A ceremony is an official act performed in public at a certain time. In
the Navy, there are various ceremonies which you will have to attend or take
part in. One ceremony which takes place every morning and evening is the
colors. This is a ceremony which pays honor to the American flag. At the
morning colors, the national ensign is raised; and at the evening colors,
it is lowered. The word ensign means flag, and in the Navy, they refer to
the American flag as either the national ensign or simply ensign. A person
should be respectful of the national ensign or flag at all times, and never
disrespectful. A person who is respectful shows respect and honor. A
person who is disrespectful does not show respect or honor.

NAVY JARGON
In the Navy, many words have a special meaning. These words are known
as navy ,^'a.raon. The examples found in the readings below are just
a few of these special words.
Other than when you are sick, there are only two kinds of authorized
absence from your station of duty: when you are on liberty or when you are
on leave. You are on liberty when authorized to be absent for less than 48
hours. You are on leave when authorized to be absent for more than 48 hours.
When vou go ashore on liberty or on leave, you will see the shore r>c.trcl
(Figure 1) . The shore patrol maintains discipline and handles those who get
in trouble. The shore patrol is not a group of trained policemen, but rather
it is the regular personnel who have been assigned this dutv.

Cleaning aboard ship is very important, it is a full-time job. There are
many parts that have to be cleaned and painted, and much brightwork that has
to be polished. Brightwork is the term applied to all metal objects that are
kept polished rather than painted, such as the railings, the ship's bell, and
the portholes around the bridge. To polish means to make smooth and shiny
by rubbing with a cloth or some other material. Often, usually just before
an inspection, a general cleaning day is set aside in which the whole ship
is cleaned. This special cleaning day is called a field day.

3 tan a. by means to wait. You may have to stand by to receive further
communication, such as when two people are talking by radio or by telephone
and one says to the other, "Stand by; I'll check and see." When stand by is
used in connection with an action to be taken, it means "get ready to" or "prepare
to," such as in the orders "Stand by to board ship" or "Stand by to drop anchor."
Break out means to unstow or prepare for use. It is used when speaking
of supplies and equipment. You break out equipment when it is necessary to
bring it out from a storage space. For example, you might hear an officer say
"Break out the life jackets," or "Break out the ammunition." What he means
is "Bring out the lifejackets from storage and get them ready for use_," or
"Bring out the boxes of ammunition and open them up, ready for use." A
lifejacket is what you wear in the water to stay afloat.

A hand in the Navy is a member of Che ship's crew, and ^^ 'i.?:dj means
all crew members. One thing all hands are supposed to do every day without
fail is read the plan of the day. The plan of the day or POD, as it is usually
called, is a daily schedule of events. It is very important because it names
the duty officers of the day, the various watches, the meal hours, the
inspections, the duty and liberty sections, and everything that is going to
happen on that day. It also lists any changes in schedule or duty.
A ship that is sec&orthy is one that is capable of going to sea and meeting
