Enlisted Sailors wear their job specialty in plain sight. Rating badges, worn on the left sleeve, consist of an eagle (called a crow); and chevrons indicating

the wearerís rank; and a specialty mark indicating rating. ìStripesî without the eagle are worn for E-3 and below. While some of these ratings have historical significance (such as the boatswainís mate), others show the evolution of naval technology in modern times, such as the GS (gas turbine system technician).
