Rating Structure The U.S. Navy rating structure is confusing to most people outside the organization. A brief overview of Navy enlisted rate and ratings follows. Two similar sounding terms are used to describe Navy enlisted status-rate and rating.Rate equates to military pay grade and rating is one's occupational specialty. Petty officer third class (PO3) is a rate. Boatswain Mate is a rating.Used in combination, Boatswain Mate Third Class (BM3), defines both the rate, petty officer third class, and rating Boatswain Mate.ate, such as First Class Petty Officer, describes the Navy enlisted pay grade E-6. Officers do not have rates but are said to have rank. Lieutenant (rank) describes a Naval officer of pay grade O-3.
Retirement for the Navy Reserve is based on a points system plus time in service. Like an active duty Sailor, a reserve Sailor is authorized to retire at 20 years. However, because a reservist is only required to work for the Navy one weekend a month and two weeks a year, retirement points are based on service completed. A Sailor must receive a minimum of 50 points in a year to achieve a good year, or a year that counts toward retirement. A good year, at its simplest, may be comprised of the following: * Drills. One day equals two points, and one drill weekend equals four points, for up to 48 points per year. * Annual training. One day equals one point, with a minimum of 12 days on AT per year.
