My Navy Recruiter in Nashville, TN ended up in my Squadron on board the USS Independence, CVA-62. In our Change of Command Ceremony we also had Promotions where my recruiter was promoted to Chief Petty Office. When I went up to him and introduced myself, the first thing he asked me was "Did I lie to you about anything?" I told him he did not. Chief Lee was a good Sailor and a good Man.

So much here that applies everywhere. Every walk of life. Good refresher......

On my Submarine (back in the mid 1980's), we had a "shit hot" Nuclear Electrician's Mate Chief... he made E-7 in 7 years... E-3 upon entry E-4 upon completing "A" School E-5 with STAR re-enlistment after 1 year then nailed E-6 and E-7 advancements on the screws... Then he got busted for Coke possession... and BEAT THE CHARGES in General Court Martial... (How? Nobody knows... maybe an awesome lawyer... but we all knew he was a coke head) I never heard what happened to him after 1987, but I have no doubt that he was probably blocked from ever getting E-8

Petty Officer- from the age of sail, were considered sailors with some sort of specialty, carpenters, sailmakers etc. the word petty comes from the French "petit" meaning little. So Petty Officers were "little officers" between the ordinary and leading seaman, and the warrant and commissioned officers.

This help since I’m graduating class of 2020 and want to join the Navy.

My best friend is in the Coast Guard Reserves (former active duty) and is currently an E-8 (Senior Chief). He is ranking up to E-9 (Master Chief) in October. I remember helping him study for the E-PME for E-8 while we were working together (law enforcement). He had to pass that just to take the servicewide evaluation. I think the ranking system is pretty similar for the Navy and CG. From what he says E-9 is as high as he can go.

Could you please do a video on Officers? What they are like - What they do - How much time they spend at sea - How their ranks correlate with the E ranks - Your experiences with them - What their goals are

Really like the new filming area.

WENT in as an E2 because i had ROTC in military highschool, after graduation from A school i was promoted to E3 one year later i took the test for E4 for my rate. and passed and was given the rank right away because i scored so high on the test. so i got to E4 in the Navy in less than 2 years.

Hey love the videos keep up the great work but could you possibly do one of these for officers?

I like how Jt has marching in the background

Thanks for the info JT... PAPPPAA

This man knows his stuff .

The word Petty means small, and an Officer is a high ranking military member. Hence the name Petty Officer, or in simpler terms 'Small Officer' but not necessarily a legitimate Officer lol

Dude. The ratings fuck me up so hard. Ex-Army working for the Navy Reserve as a civil servant. Jesus. The ratings. Y'all have WAY have too many uniforms too.

You can be an E3 if you do any JROTC or Sea cadet program. Also they changed the Naval boot camp again making it easier to be promoted in boot camp if you do well physically with the test.

@@loganknowsnoneofyourbusine263 Depends. Anyone who is in the NROTC can choose to enlist instead.

Anyone who isn't in the NROTC can still be an officer thru OCS (Officer Candidate School) as long as you have at least a Bachelors degree. There are other programs to become an officer but that's the main 2. Others include Seaman To Admiral and the Warrant officer (LDO) Program.

The term 'petty officer' comes from the French 'petit officier' or 'small officer' which, back in the days before there were chiefs in the navy, were the officers' assistants as the chiefs are now. Hope this helps.

Off topic, but as a former carrier crew member, what do you think about the new magnetic launching and recovery system on the Ford? By the way, did you know that Gerald Ford's original name was Leslie Lynch King, Jr (fun trivia), and was a Navy LT in WWII?

The One thing I would point out, is that on smaller ships like mine was LPD 4 USS Austin. You will have alot more leadership roles, as a lower ranking Petty Officer.

Great knowledge but you missed sharing about the pay bumps as you go up in rank.

The nuke field is crazy, if you get masted or stay an FN (fireman E3) for some reason and you're shit hot, you could end up Assistant LPO or some shit.

Yo, Jt is it possible to strike into a rate even though you didnt qualify for it with your asvab score or line scores?

yo jt...can you do a video on the ranking system if you've did 2 years of college before you go into boot camp ? like wouldn't you be ranked higher because of college ? or would you still be an E-1...

P.O., the Petty Officer can trace the title back to the old French word, petit meaning something small. The direct English language word is "petite". So, in reality it should be "petite officer". Meaning a smaller officer.

Papa! Good vibes.

im coming out of the army as an e4 specialist with 6 years in the national guard, and im really considering going active duty navy. Would i come in as a petty officer third class after OSVET? or would you have any information about that? i was really hoping that i could get a job that would secure me a deployment overseas and i figured id go navy since the army hasnt really sent me anywhere lol.

hey man 5 dollar holler lol is contact with family on deployment easy, im leaving October 30 very excited

For Airdale (Squadron Type). "Shoes" (and other classifications) may be different but this is my experience: E1-E3 - you are assigned to working parties, first lieutenant, the line shack, Etc. You might end up in your work center and actually working in your rate a year or so after getting to the fleet. If you are a "Sierra Hotel" Plane Captain, they may extend your time in the line shack but it will also come with a great deal of respect with some letters of commendation and/or "Sailor of the Month" recognition. You will stand roving watches (and sometimes duty driver) on your duty days. Life may suck but your overall attitude during this time will either make or break you. E4 - you are put in charge of working parties and if you are that "Sierra Hotel" Plane Captain, they may keep you in the line shack training other plane captains. If you are in your work center, you are knowledgeable but still a learner. You are likely training and mentoring strikers and one may carry your toolbox at times. E4s typically pull Duty Driver and Petty Officer Of the Watch (POOW) on their duty days. E5 - you are the BACKBONE of the maintenance department in a squadron. You will be performing the majority of the critical, heavy aircraft maintenance and people will depend upon you to know your stuff. You are also a Collateral Duty Inspector (CDI) meaning you are signing off on others work. An E5 may find himself or herself in the role of a shift supervisor over more junior E5s and below. You are the main training mentor of junior enlisted assigned to your work center. E5s typically stand duty as the Petty Officer of the Watch (POOW) or Assistant Squadron Duty Officer (ASDO). E6 - You are the Work Center (and possibly the Division) Leading Petty Officer meaning you are likely also the Day Shift W/C Supervisor. As stated, they take the heat for all of the screwups of his or her subordinates. You are now expected to be a Military (in addition to professional) meaning you are accountable for the uniform appearance and grooming standards of your subordinates and are responsible to correct any deficiencies in military bearing and personal conduct. An E6 is a subject matter expert in their rating. They may turn wrenches on occasion but are expected to delegate wherever possible to their subordinates. An E6 provides personal and professional counseling when necessary and writes the evaluations of all his (or her) subordinates. They may work outside of their rating as LPO of the Line Division, Corrosion Control, or A/C Phase. They may be a Quality Assurance Representative (QAR), assigned to the QA Division signing off on "safety of flight" issues. An unlucky E6 may be the person people report to topside to "Pee in a Cup" (HRMO/DAPA). Senior E6s looking to make "Chief" are obviously more political trying to look good before a selection board. the more senior E6s become Duty Section Leaders where they are responsible for the watch bill and mustering of the duty section as required. They may stand ASDO duty as needed but their name shows up on the watch bill less frequently than do the E5s. E7 - You are the Division Chief Petty Officer responsible for all enlisted personnel in your division. You are more of a Military leader than professional. The knowledge of a Chief Petty Officer is much more broad in nature than E6 or below. If you have specific maintenance knowledge and expertise, it was likely acquired as you came up in the ranks and possibly still with the same aircraft platform (F/A-18s, SH-60, Etc.). Most of the technical expertise will be delegated to your First Class (and senior Second Class) Petty Officers. A Chief may no longer be the primary "Go To" technical expert but he will be able to cite "Chapter and Verse" regarding any and everything "4790!" A Chief may be in QA, the Line, or any other division where they need a Chief Petty Officer. Chiefs also hang out in Maintenance Control either assigned or just there to learn. Chiefs train Junior Officers (Branch Officers, Division Officers, Etc.) and advise mid-level officers (LT, LCDR). Chief Petty Officers do not stand rotational duty (Duty sections) as do the E6 and below but may be on rotation as the "Weekend Maintenance Chief" and in some squadrons, may stand duty as the Squadron Duty Officer (SDO). E8 - You are likely nearing retirement and the Navy is offering you a "Star" enticing you to go beyond the 20-year mark. Promotions to E8 and E9 are strictly selection board - no rating exam. They typically require you to serve an additional 2-3 years in order to put on "Senior Chief" and my understanding is that the additional retirement pay makes it well worthwhile. There is a good deal of overlap between Chief and Senior Chief as well as Senior Chief and Master Chief. A Senior Chief may still find himself (or herself) as a "Division LCPO" in a top-heavy command. The senior enlisted in charge of Maintenance/Material Control will usually be a Senior or Master Chief. A Senior Chief may also find him or herself as the "Senior Enlisted" in a command and thus fill the role of a "Command Senior Chief." Aside from the occasional "Squadron Duty Officer" duty (as applicable per command policy), a Senior Chief's watch-standing days are over! Most Senior Chiefs I have known have been pretty chill - even more so than most Chiefs. I have never met a single one who did not like being called "Senior" and I would have loved to have been called such had I stayed in long enough to earn it! E9 - You are now pushing towards the 30-year mark and are pretty much the top-dog wherever you go. Everyone calls you "Master Chief" and it really does not matter what your rating is by this time because it has been years since you have touched a tool anyways! You are likely in one of two places in a squadron - You are either the Maintenance/Material Control Master Chief or you are working up "topside" as the "Command Master Chief" and Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Commanding Officer. You likely received orders into the command specifically for the role of Command Master Chief. I have been in commands where the Command Master Chief was a submariner so an airdale Master Chief might find themselves in a command outside of the aviation community. From this time on, you will serve as Command Master Chief in larger and larger commands including an Aircraft Carrier over the squadron Command Master Chiefs. You may even work your way up to a Fleet or Force Master Chief or possibly Master Chief of the Navy. You're welcome!😎

As I understood it from a retired Navy Corpsman, the Marine Corps consider every Marine a combat rifleman, and that according to the Geneva Convention, Medics/Corpsmen under the protection of the Red Cross (arm band, on helmet) are not permitted to engage in direct combat (they can be armed for the sole purpose of protecting their patient). So that's why the Marines use Navy Corpsmen. A Navy Corpsman assigned to the Marines, rolls with the Marine unit, lives, eats, etc with that unit 24/7/365. So would explain why Navy Corpsman assigned to the Marines consider themselves as more Corps than Navy. Hope that helps
