X1 ' A V ' B . - - . .. Th6ft,PUih of A4 e'F'?F' - ,gef----J MOST enlisted personnel enter the naval service as Seaman Recruits. After their ini- tial training, the varied aspects of which are pictured in this book, they are qualified to take advantage of many tangible career opportuni- ties presented by the Navy Rating System. The term aratingw applies to groups of Navy occupational duties which require essentially the same aptitudes, training, experience, skills, and physical and mental abilities. Within the rating there are uratesw which indicate a man's pay grade and his level of experience, knowl- edge, and responsibility. The general principles of the rating system evolved during the Navy's 150-odd years of existence, the details of its structure were worked out by officers, enlisted men, and civilians experienced in personnel management. In itself it contributes much to morale by providing a real incentive for the enlisted men through its recognition of distinct TT-Tsxsis'-+..1....,. Y ,f- occupations and in its program for steady ad- vancement. All Seaman Recruits CSRD who are gradu- ated from recruit training are automatically ad- vanced to Seaman Apprentice QSAD. Aboard a ship or station, the apprentice receives addi- tional training in general seamanship and re- lated work and, after six months, become eligible for promotion to Seaman By this time he has become interested in the du- ties performeduby personnel in a specialty rat- ing and from then on he is promoted in a par- ticular rating such as are seen on these pages. Having received promotions through third, second, and first class petty officer, a man be- comes eligible for advancement to chief petty officer, the highest enlisted rate of his occupa- tional line of work. From there, career steps in all ratings lead to one of twelve warrant of- ficer billets or to a commission as an officer in a limited duty category.
