Navy leaders are reversing their controversial decision to eliminate sailors’ ratings and will restore job titles across the fleet, according to a Navy message set for release Wednesday.
Effective immediately, enlisted sailors will officially regain their ratings, the traditional job titles that have inspired a deep cultural loyalty and that have defined enlisted career tracks for generations, Navy officials said.
The move comes three months after the Navy stunned sailors around the world in September by eliminated ratings titles, including those such as boatswain’s mate that dated back to the founding of the service.
The extraordinarily rare move comes after a fierce backlash from the fleet that became a distraction from the Navy's broader effort to reform the antiquated personnel system, Navy officials said.

Big question in MY mind; Will POTUS Trump do anything to restore sanity and gender correctness to our military; which includes brooming the assinine gender confusion, women in combat, etc.
I am feeling more at home in America every day since Nov. 8
...The Trump effect...
Guess the Brass didn’t want to be called in to the Oval Office for a chat about political correctness.
Yep. He should ask the current brass “Are there other stupid things that you would like to fix before Mad Dog and I start taking names?”
Yay! Lightning fast chicken pluckers forever!
Ha ha ha...
So no rating now for Corpse person?
What a coincidence. Let’s see, what has happened in the last few months that could’ve influenced Navy bras into a new way of thinking?
I still don’t understand these, and the Wikipedia article doesn’t help. Ratings are kind of a mix of your rank and your Navy mos, but not for everybody? How are you supposed to know how you refer to anyone? Navy ranks are already ass-backwards as it is. We don’t call each other ‘Cavalry scout’ or ‘supply sergeant’ or ‘NBC dude’... You just say’ sergeant’ or ‘specialist’ or ‘sir’. Anyone can recognize your rank, no matter what unit you’re from or what you do.

AT HOME IN AMERICA! That has a nice ring to it!
Mabus needs to be ridiculed daily until he leaves the country, and every Flag officer who went along with this creep needs to be forcibly pushed out the door with him.
If you are NOT NAVY then just KEEP YOUR NOSE OUT OF THIS!
Yes indeed it is a happy day- Can not believe they even thought about changing it in the first place because of friggin political correctness gone amok-
the only problem is that the next democrat that wins will very likely force them into the pc crap again- but for now at least, it’s a fantastic victory for the good guys
Even the corpse men?
Does that mean that I can be an:
STSCS(SS)
Again?

I hope they reinstate CPO Initiation’s and Crossing the Line..... GO TRUMP !
