Rates (insignia of category).
There are several major categories in the Navy for different professions. Insignia of category are worn right above the circle in the topmost stripe, both on the sleeve and the shoulder board.

(Admirals with special circumstances (doctors and engineers) may wear them on their sleeves, but not shoulders)
