Answer 2

Well I can say that the other answers here are all incorrect. A rank is a commissioned officer not a rate (e.g soldier, corporal, etc) and in the British Army they start:

Second Lieutenant
Lieutenant
Captain
Major
Colonel
Lieutenant-Colonel
General
Field Marshall

In the British Navy they are:

Sub-Lieutenant
Lieutenant
Lieutenant Commander
Commander
Captain
Commodore
Vice-Admiral
Rear-Admiral
Admiral

In the RAF:

Pilot Officer
Group Captain
Wing Commander
Squadron Leader
Air Marshal

(not 100% about the Air Force ones but these are definately ranks)

The Navy is the senior service and 2 pips (Lieutenant) in the Army (or 2 Air Force stripes) is only worth 1 RN stripe (sub-Lieutenant)

Hope this helps...


Duhh is a very apt name for you. How about saved everyone in 2 world wars - and believe it mate cos had Britain fallen, Germany would have wiped you guys out invading from Canada in a two pronged attack with Japanese invasion of west coast - Ive trained with US forces and youre ****!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

ALL US Military use the same PAY GRADE Structure.... just different names for their corresponding Rank or Rate.

Okay... for the US Navy, the officers break down as follows:

Ensign (O-1)
Lieutenant (Junior Grade (O-2)
Lieutenant (O-3)
Lieutenant Commander (O-4)
Commander (O-5)
Captain (O-6)
Rear Admiral, Lower Half (O-7)
Rear Admiral, Upper Half(O-8)
Vice Admiral (O-9)
Admiral (O-10)

The (O-x) signifies their PAY-GRADE, as E-X will for Enlisted. US Navy enlisted are in RATES that correspond to their Pay Grade... and then also broken down into RATINGS that signify their job-specialty.

(E-1) Recruit
(E-2) Apprentice
(E-3) Seaman (or Airman, Hospitalman, Constructionman or Fireman)
(E-4) Petty Officer 3rd Class
(E-5) Petty Officer 2rd Class
(E-6) Petty Officer 1st Class
(E-7) Chief Petty Officer
(E-8) Senior Chief Petty Officer
(E-9) Master Chief Petty Officer
(E-10) Master Chief Petty Officer of the NAVY

For example, I left as: AW1 R. Shepherd, (NAC, AW, SW)...
pay grade E-6, Rating of AW (Aviation Warfare Systems Operator) Rate of First Class. NAC = Naval Aircrewman, AW = Aviation Warfare Specialist, SW = Surface Warfare Specialist.

I'll let others describe their service-branches rank structure.
