Question

thanks for all your answers. i met someone that swears they are a sergeant an dformer sniper in North Carolina ata navy base. I thought they were lying

Answer 1

Non-commissioned officers (NCOs) are not called sergeants in the Navy. Here is how the ranks convert from Army to Navy:

Army sergeant=Navy petty officer, 2nd class
Army staff sergeant=Navy petty officer, 1st class
Army sergeant, first class=Navy chief petty officer
Army master sergeant=Navy senior chief petty officer
Army sergeant major=Navy master chief petty officer
Army command sergeant major=Navy command master chief

>I have never seen a Marine sniper at a Navy base, except in Kuwait. If he were a Marine, he would be an E-5 sergeant. While the Army ranks E-5 (sergeant) to E-8 (master sergeant) may be referred to as sergeant (except E-8 first sergeants, which you address as "first sergeant"); the Marines address all NCO by their formal rank: sergeant (E-5), staff sergeant (E-6), gunnery sergeant (E-7), master sergeant (E-8), and sergeant major (E-9). You can call a Marine Gunnery Sergeant "Gunny", but never just "Sergeant".

Answer 2

NORMALLY, there are no Sergeants in the US Navy. HOWEVER... there have been EXCEPTIONS. For a short while toward the end of the Vietnam War, while President Nixon was being indicted and removed from office, his removal as Commander iN Chief of the Armed Forces, held up a great deal of fairly routine administrative stuff inside the armed forces because the head guy in charge was no longer able to authorise his staff to do fairly routine things, like granting pay raises and low level promotions to NCO s & Junior Officers. There was also a porblem with authorised enlistment le=vels keeping pace with how amy guys the Navy really had doing stuff at the time.
So to circumvent the rules a bit, the Navy started promoting new guys who ought to have been Junior Petty Officers, and calling them "Naval Sergeants", and issuing them with Marine Sergeant chevrons. They were paid and treated just like any other e-5 junior NCO, and eventually a year or so later, after Nixon was out of office, and Congress had got caught back up to speed, all the newly created "Naval Sergeants" became Petty Officers again..

Answer 3

there are no Sergeants in the navy, there are petty officers. Now the marines have Sergeants and you can find them on a navy base maybe that is what they ment.

Answer 4

The title sergeant is a rank. The navy does not use ranks, it uses rates. The closest thing to a sergeant would be a petty officer.

Answer 5

No sergeants in the U.S. Navy. You will find seargeants in the Air Force, Army, and Marines. The link below will give you a list of ranks for all the military services.

Answer 6

Yes, but they are not called Sergeants; they are called Petty Officers, like Wichita said.

Answer 7

no no rank of sergeant in the navy but there is a position of sergeant at arms abord ships although it is not an actual rank but a position

Answer 8

They call them Petty Officers, not sergeants.

Answer 9

. Well, technically, YES.
The Marine Corp is a part of the Navy and they have maybe 3-4 'grades' of sargeants.
But the Navy itself does NOT. But there might be a "Sargeant at Arms" somewhere in there. ?

Answer 10
