I apparently had so many hours in tech school around 1480 and my recruiter told me im able to go in as a E3 and when i complete bootcamp ill be a E4 3rd class petty Officer. Im glad those tech school hours played off
This video, along with others on this channel, is a HUGE help for my studying efforts. Shipping out August 14th, thank you for the assist and will pass along and help teach other recruits.
Glad it helped!
Where are you now?
🎉
Thanks I was having issues with ranks and recognition
Good Stuff, I’m glad there are more videos like this being created. Would really helped me years ago. I would be Senior Chief by now😅
Thank you for your service!
@@askardc right back at you! Thank you, bro!
Lower half used to be Commodore. Sounded more Naval
Man, pray for me, I havent been able to retain it at all
I leave for boot in 3 weeks, thanks for the content. I picked OS I still don’t know much about it but I’ve heard good things anything I should be worried about ? Thanks

u save me time ty
Where does the term "Upper Half" and "Lower Half" come from? Is it from the service device so the rank insignia created the name? Great video and thanks!
It comes from the Navy decision to provide a distinction between the two.
Both Ranks are Rear Admiral. Rear Admiral Upper/Lower Half right off the back gives the Navy a quick picture of how much ADMIRAL experience that person has.
Rear Admiral Lower - Probably has worked in the pentagon as a star just yet
Rear Admiral Upper - Probably has worked in the pentagon, ready for more big picture navy responsibilities.
@@DeckplateTone Fair enough, but that leads me to ask where the term "rear admiral" came from? Does it tie back into wooden ships where the admiral is in the rear-most ship or something like that?
@@chiles79To answer your question you have to look at the historical rank of Flag Officer which was created in 1850's to fill a specific billet due to Congress' unwillingness to authorize more than 4 officer ranks at the time. Eventually in 1861 it was converted into an actual rank yet in name was replaced with the former "billet" of Commodore(that was inherited from the Royal Navy when the United States Continental Navy was established) in 1862 which itself would be replaced in 1899 by Congress with "Rear Admiral".
The reason for this was that the USN placed the rank as that of the lowest ranking flag officer(think O-7 of today) but would on reception not be treated with the same respect as the rank and office held by foreign dignitaries/officers as the commodore was traditionally a literal captain that was in charge of multiple units(think 1 skipper over an bunch of destroyers to put it super simple).
This led to a dissent among sister services who had clear distinctions of O-7 to O-10 but the use of rear admiral was already to designate a O-8. This led to a situation where sister service staff officers would render a USN O-7 with the title and respect of the O-8. To fix this in the most roundabout way, Congress, instead of reinstating "Commodore" or Flag Officer, chose to dig in their heels and continue using Rear Admiral with the "Lower Half" denoting literally the "lower half of seniority" among all US Commissioned Officers.
Tangentially related, this also had the effect of forcing the US Army(who complained really loudly over all of this) to equalize their Brigadier General rank also to the "lower half of seniority" to normalize rank structures.
@@chiles79Rear admiral originally was the guy in charge of the rearguard of the fleet
Can you go over what cranking entails? I’ve read that it is relatively common for people right out of A school to spend the first six months essentially being a dishwasher or laundry attendant, even for those in highly technical rates. Is this true, or is it more nuanced?
It is true! i will make a video about it
Yup rendered the good conduct a moot point. Gold stripes indicated 12 years (3 consecutive good conduct awards) not 12 years participation award.
Chief Warrant Officer that mysterious subject matter expert that no one has ever seen in person 😅
Rear Admiral lower half formerly known as Commodore
Hm2 FMF- best rate & rank in the fleet.
slowed the video down to .90 and seems to help.
consistently caffeinated.
E4 like a corpsrole i had 4 guys working under me full time
I know this is not what the video is about. But I leave for RTC on the 5th. I'm been practicing but am still having issues with swimming.
Is the navy swim test complex or complicated. Is it difficult for someone who has a decent ability to swim?
It’s a few vids down but he goes over the swimming test in another video.

Thanks
That's 12 years of GOOD service.
Question for you. Many years ago, when I was a recruit at RTC we had a bank of maybe six or so irons lined up in our RDC's office. These irons were in boxes with the word "broken" written across them in sharpie marker. These were the irons we used to iron our uniforms. Below these boxes on a lower shelf were brand new irons that had never been used. These irons were just for show and were never used. In this way we never had to clean irons.
Is this sort of thing still done at RTC? If not with Irons, with something else? For instance, we never used the urinals in the head. These were the "trophies" and were there only for show. We were only allowed to use the toilets.
I went through last year and we put broken irons with working ones in the laundry room. The urinals are just for show because we couldn't flush them or clean them.
@@HaedenBeck oh, the more things change, the more they stay the same. It was 2001 when I went through.
After 32-years in the Navy (I retired as a Master Chief in 1989), and longer than that as retired, the Navy's need to show itself as politically correct still amuses me.
Case in point. The Navy instructed the fleet not to use the term "Man a ship" but, rather to say crew a ship. This is to show the world that it is not sexist...
However, the Navy will "CREW" a ship with Sea Fire, Corps as well as Radio, etc. Now does that make sense????????
Will the POs ask us the promotion time in the BMT?
Hello @AskaRDC, my son enlisted and he is currently in his first week of bootcamp. Before enlisting he was a member of the USN Sea Cadet Corp and earned an E3 ranking before enlisting. His recruiter submitted his upgraded paygrade to MEPS and provided us documention about his E3 ranking after bootcamp. My questions are, when does he get the uniform that signifies his E3 ranking? During bootcamp when they give their uniforms or after when they are officially sailors? Will there any other verification needed or its all part in the initial documentations? Thanks
They will give it to him for all uniforms during the last few weeks of boot camp. But he will not be able to wear it until graduation
@@askardc thank you
@@askardcI wore my peanut butters after taps
What classes do we take at boot camp?
We called that bird on the PO uniform a crow !
Still do! And multiple crows together is called a Murder of Crows. Hence Murder Boards!
Incorrect, there is no Fleet Admiral (5 star) even in time of war. It is not a rank anymore in the US armed forces.
Source?
@@trevdestroyer8209 US Federal Code describing all current ranks in the US military. That's the only source there COULD be.
Department of Defense website has the rank, so did they forget to update or what? www.defense.gov/Resources/Insignia/
Idk how we suppose to remember everything SMH
I know it seems like a lot, but if you keep at it, you will be fine. I thought the same when I first joined but learned it all the same.
@@askardc thank you sir for the encouragement let's go navy! I am going to be a sailor and that's my word 🇺🇸 NYC we go hard
Enlisted men do not have rank. It's called rate. Officers rank, enlisted rate. Go back to boot camp.
