- List of Abbreviations: Select the first letter of the code word from the list below (note there are no rating abbreviations beginning with the letters K, V, X and Z):
| A | B | C | D | E | F |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| G | H | I | J | K | L |
| M | N | O | P | Q | R |
| S | T | U | V | W | X-Y-Z |
Introduction
This part provides an alphabetical listing of rating abbreviations with long titles for the ratings and pertinent remarks concerning the abbreviations. If you desire to know when a rating was established or disestablished, go to Compilation of Enlisted Ratings and Apprenticeships, U.S. Navy, 1775 to 1969.
During the years, several abbreviations have been used more than one time. If you see the abbreviations used more than once then check the Remarks section to see during what period the abbreviations were in use. For example:
| Abbreviation | Long Title | Remarks |
| AM | Aviation Structural Mechanic | (after 1948) |
| AM | Aviation Metalsmith | (before 1948) |
In the instance above, the AM abbreviation in use after 1948 was Aviation Structural Mechanic. If the AM that you were interested in was in use before 1948, the long title would then be Aviation Metalsmith.
Several other forms of abbreviations were added to the rating abbreviations. If perchance the abbreviation was followed by a "T" then this was the period when advancements were temporary and were so designated, so again using the above illustration, if the rating you are interested in is AM1 "T" or AM1T in the year 1950, the long title would be Aviation Structural Mechanic First Class "Temporary." Additionally, another letter used was "A" for acting, and this "A" could also possibly follow the rating abbreviation and precede the "T". Again using the above illustration, if you are interested in the abbreviation of AMC (A) "T" or AMCAT during the year 1950, the long title would be Chief Aviation Structural Mechanic (Acting) "Temporary".
