If that's your rank, in a few months, I'll
be a bit higher than you.

None the less, good artwork. I knew
you were military last we spoke but
hope everything is going ok for you.

I should be up for advancement again in the fall. My rate moves up pretty quick. :D

So this was what you were talking about

Yuppers. :D

Ah! A squid!

Yup, I'm a squid. :B

You guys know how to party!

Amazeballs is a pretty accurate description

I love that word. :P

Duh! :)

Well Duh! Obviously. :P

Aviation Electrician's Mate 1st Class?

Aerographer's mate third lass. :P

And a fine lass ye be!

<3

Ahh right, 1st Class is three down.

Whoops.

Still atleast I recognized what the Crow meant. :3

So's Petty Officer for the Navy what Corporal/Specialist is for the Army? Enough responsibility to look after the nubs?

Yea at e-4 we are technically junior NCOs. We are given some responsibility, but nothing like a second or first class.

So two questions I'm confused about with the navy.
Do you get called your Job-grade right off the bat, or are there a select areas you can join? Like 'Electrician Recruit?' LIke I'm guessing you wouldn't be 'Aerographer Recruit'...or would you?

And Is there a shorthand for your rate? Like I can't imagine calling out "Aerographer's Third Class Zeek" is easy to belt out (unless the superior is pissed off with you or it's a formal situation). Like how Lieutenant Commanders get to be called "Commander" and I'm guessing unless it's asked for Lieutenant J.Gs and Lieutenants are both just called "Lieutenant" by their superiors?

I'm AG3 When you start out you branch one of 4 ways e1 through 3 Seaman (sea going rates) Airman (Aviation rates) Fireman (electrical and engine rates) or Constructionman (The builders and infrastructure workers.) I was an Airman up until 2 months ago, but I was still an Aerographer's Mate. When we say the word Rate in the navy, it means the short hand which shows your job title and your paygrade all in one go. So I was an AGAN (Airman that has the job of Aeographer's Mate) Now that I'm a third class petty officer I am AG3 when I make 2nd I will be AG2 when I make it up to e7 I will be AGC or just chief :P

Under normal situations, I understand "Lieutenant Junior Grade John Smith" is usually just called "Lieutenant Smith" and is only called "Lieutenant Junior Grade Smith" if he is at a formal hearing, or his superior is really really angry at him.

You are Aerographer's Mate Third Class Zeek. When someone gives you an order or calls for you over the 1MC or otherwise addresses you, do they say "Aerographer's Mate Third Class Zeek" or do the use some sort of shorthand like "Aero-Third Zeek." Or "A3 Zeek"?

AG3 Sutton as it were :P My last name.

Ahh. Shiny :3

Awww

:D Its dah real me. xD

I'm E-3 for life trash! :'D

But awesome piece of art !

What rate did you land?

Haven't landed on one yet. I want to go for IT, if not ET.

Nice. I work with both of those. :3

Do ya think the Navy is in of those? I do hope so, This little crow wants to make it with the tech and stuff.

That is a really good! I may use this as a reference to draw my character Funker in dress blues. Only have him in Undress blues

The US Navy needs the "flat cap" back
