Radioman (ET comms), ST,Nav-ET(QM's/FWD electricians),FT(vertical and/or horizontal), Yeoman, Doc(senior corpman), TM (MM weapons div now), MT's, A-Gangers(MM Auxiliary Division), Nukes (ET, EM, MM.) Several more divisions but thats about it for rates.
sorry for bringing up an old post, but just curious no one mentions the DIVER rate? are they not apart of boats anymore???
While I'm posting, might as well ask though not sure if this crosses OPSEC, what ratings "hitch a ride" on fast attacks?? SEALs obviously but what about intel or crypto guys?? Information Warfare?? do they come on subs
2. They know everything that happens on the boat, OPSEC or no.
3. They have the most storage of anybody on the boat, so if you want something special (I liked to pack my own mozz and pepp, sauce, etc for pizza night, and also venison and stuff) they are the only ones who can hook you up.
It's not easy to be a cook. Everyone expects you to cook like Mom. That's a lot to ask anyone.
I never had a problem with the cooks on the tridents. They were great guys, and I was more than willing to put on the cute little paper hat and help them cook. I didn't mind doing the dishes, either, if it was called for.
The cook on my fast boat, however, had two basic problems. He didn't know how to cook anything but pork, which can get boring on a west pac. And he always wondered why there was an entire crew to feed Saturday's lunch to...(does the phrase "Field Day" mean anything?)
