Yrkesbeteckning på gradbeteckning för officerare

Gradbeteckning för en captain i auditörskåren i USA:s flotta.

Linjebefäl (och vissa andra specialiteter som public relations och underrättelsetjänst) bär en stjärna med spetsen nedåt på gradbeteckningen. Flottans stabskårer för exempelvis läkare, sjuksköterskor, jurister och militär själavårdspersonal bär ett särskilt tecken för sin kår på gradbeteckningen.

Officerare i en stabskår kan inte föra befäl över fartyg, flyg, specialförband eller baser utan kan enbart leda förband och enheter inom sin yrkesspecialitet.[3] En officer inom en stabskår är dock alltjämt en officer och är berättigad till samma grad av aktning och hedersbetygelser som är fallet för linjebefäl.

Yrkesbeteckningar för underofficerare och underbefäl

Underbefäl och underofficerare har både en tjänstegrad (engelska: rate) och en yrkesbenämning (engelska: rating) som sammantaget avspeglas visuellt på ärmens gradbeteckning och vilken avgör hur respektive person tilltalas samt omnämns i skrift.

Yrkesbeteckningen, här en maskinförare i flottans ingenjörstrupper (Seabees), framgår på ärmens gradbetckning. Personen med följande gradbeteckning benämns sålunda som Equipment operator 1st class.
Hospital corpsman 3rd class.

Training is extremely demanding, both mentally and physically, and produces some of the world’s best maritime warriors.
