The Best of the Best - US SEALS !
These guys usually operate in teams - what happened here ?
Oh, ok. I am unfamiliar with the Navy. I know he is not a corporal. But that’s the only e-4 I know of, so I translated Navy to Army. I just don’t speak Navy and I have to go to familiar ground as I don’t have my sea legs.
So Petty officer is a Rank, a Rating is your job. So a gunners mate is a rate?
Many Navy personnel work in Afghanistan. One is a very close family member of mine.
