I hate to quibble, but in the Navy rate and rank are two different things. Rank is paygrade -- E4, O3, etc., while rate is one's occupational specialty -- Fire Control Technician, Boatswain's Mate, Hull Technician, Boiler Technician, etc.

Thus, an HT2 is a hull technician second class, a second-class petty officer (E5) who is a hull technician, and an HT1 is a hull technician first class, a first-class petty officer (E6) who is a hull technician.

HTFR
HTFA
HTFN
HT3
HT2
HT1
HTC
HTCS

Thanks Star! His words always give me the inspiration to do something with them! That is one of my favorite songs that he has written and sung.

An excellent quibble. (LOL!) Actually, I got that from a website that has an unofficial Marine dictionary. Rate/Rank is pretty confusing to me. (I don't know if you saw, but we recently did a thread each for Commissioned and Enlisted ranks.) Thanks for your input!!
