What are Navy Ratings?
A rating in the United States Navy is normally
earned through attendance at an “A” school
following the Navy’s initial basic training
course held at RTC (Recruit Training
Command).
Some specialties or ratings will also attend
follow-on “C” schooling prior to reporting to
their first command.
