Default rank vs rate

you are very wrong on a lot of accts. first, you say: "here are some rates" and list ALL nine enlisted ranks, not 'some' of them as you indicated suggesting there are more, but you listed them all. then you confuse the reader by calling ranks, rates. rates are our job field. ET, IT, BM... whatever the case may be.

ranks are your E1-E9 (as far as enlisted goes) each rank has a different title, for example: Seaman Apprentice, 2nd Class Petty Officer, Senior Chief Petty Officer to name three of the nine enlisted rankings.

you can be any rank in any rate, although of course the higher the rank, the more difficult it is to achieve. please do not over complicate it with all your intricacies and such that anyone outside the Navy will not understand.
