Navy rating CD3 was a Seabee designation for
Construction Driver, Petty Officer Third Class
I believe that the CS stands for Culinary Specialist. You're on the right track, Aggie, he's a cook but back then the rating was 'Commissaryman' and the rank would be First Class Petty Officer. I can't seem to find a picture of the badge, but there would have been an eagle above the insignia with three chevrons below.There are five that still exist today. There IS NO evidence that one came before the other, however I would lean toward QM's.Boatswain's Mates, Quartermaster, Gunner's Mate, Master-at-Arms, Cook (now Culinary Specialists [CS]).This is just one resource and is the ONLY OFFICIAL site:http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq78-1.htm#anchor88073
An ENFN is an E3 in the United States Navy. The rate ENFN stands for Engineman, Fireman, and is the last rate before the serviceman becomes a non commissioned petty officer.
PHM3 in the US Navy during WW II means that a sailor is a Pharmacists Mate 3rd Class. Enlisted Grade of 4. This rate and rank usually served as a Medic. Some in hospitals, some aboard ships and some attached to Marine Infantry units.
The desertion rate during World War 2 was 6.3 percent in 1944. By the time the war was over the desertion rate fell to 4.5 percent.
RD3 - RD=Radarman (Rate) - 3=3rd Class Petty Officer (Rank), no longer exists
In the Navy, "job" is determined not only by rank but rating. Master Chiefs performed and still do many important functions within the structure of the Navy as senior NCO's. Their jobs are varied, as they were during WW2 and before. The master Chief Petty Officer rate was established in 1958, so there were no Master Chiefs in WW2. The rating MR is Machinery Repairman, which also did not exist in WW2. It is probably a split off from the WW2 rating MM or Machinist mate.
It is a misleading question. Richard Harrison was an enlisted member of the Navy. Enlisted personnel do not have "rank" in the Navy. I think they mean "rate". Then the answer would be Petty Officer First Class.Your answer is not totally correct, rank is from E-1 to E-9. At E4 an enlisted man at in the Navy must have both both a rank and a rate. The rate refers to the specialty of the individual. Accordingly, you are correct that he was a Petty Office First Class. However I like to know was his official rate as PO1?Below, is info from a U.S. Navy page that might clear up the issue of "rate", "rank" and "rating." His "rate" (pay grade) was E-6 or PO1. I believe you want to know what his "rating" was. He was a DK. "The use of the word "rank" for Navy enlisted personnel is incorrect. The term is "rate." The rating badge is a combination of rate (pay grade, as indicated by the chevrons) and rating (occupational specialty, as indicated by the symbol just above the chevrons)."The insignia here represents a Petty Officer First Class (the rate) who is a Boatswain's Mate (the rating). A rating badge is worn on the left upper sleeve of all uniforms in grades E-4 through E-6. Chief Petty Officers (E-7 through E-9) wear collar devices on their white and khaki uniforms, and rating badges on their Service Dress Blues."(See related Link)All that has been done is that we both agree that he was a 1st class petty officer, E6. Now what was his rate?

There's no specific note of Richard Harrison's Navy rate, but his Wiki entry notes that he did stints as a Paymaster. That would narrow his rate down to either the old Disbursing Clerk rate (now a Personnel Specialist) or a Yeoman. He retired as a First Class.
Not sure about male, but I found the first female Signalman was Elizabeth Nelson-Hein of Jasper, Alabama. The U.S. Navy disestablished the rating of Signalman in late 2003, reassigning visual communications duties to the Quartermaster rating. Signalmen were either absorbed into the Quartermaster rating, or allowed to switch to other job fields in the Navy. Many chose the Master-at-Arms rating, which expanded dramatically to meet the needs of the Navy in the War on Terror.
The use of the word 'rank' for Navy enlisted personnel is incorrect. The term is 'rate.' The rating badge is a combination of rate (pay grade, as indicated by the chevrons) and rating (occupational specialty, as indicated by the symbol just above the chevrons).The closest I can determine is that CHM is a rating meaning Chief Hospital Corpsman.
If you are referring to the U.S. Navy, there is not a RD rating. An RP is a religious program specialist, a PR is a parachute rigger, and a DT used to be a dental tech, but those merged to HM, hospital corpsman a few years ago. If you are referring to an older rate in the US Navy, it could be either a radar tech or a radioman, which was actually a RM, but that is another rate that merged and became what is now an IT.
Officially, according to U.S. Navy records, the modern-day Master-at-Arms rating was re-established on August 1, 1973 in accordance with BUPERS Note 1440 Change-1. As a rating and rate, it has been in existence since the creation of the U.S. Navy after the Congressional passing of the Naval Act of July 1, 1797. This rating is considered one of the oldest still existing today along with the Boatswain's Mate, Gunner's Mate, Quartermaster, and Yeoman.
Undesignated is the term used for Seaman, Airman (aviation), or Fireman (engineering) in the Navy who have graduated from Boot Camp, but have not yet selected a rating or career path yet. Once they do, they're termed "Strikers"; once they achieve Petty Officer 3rd Class in a particular rate, their rating insignia appears on their Rank/Rate insignia (patches, pins, etc.).
This is called a "rating" in the Navy. The AT denotes that person's rate, or job. In this case, it is an Aviation Technician. The 3 denotes that person's rank, which in this case, is a 3rd Class Petty Officer.
Could be one of three ratings. CM1---Mechanic Petty Officer 1st Class; CM1---Construction Mechanic Petty Officer 1st Class; CM1----Carpenter's Mate Petty Officer 1st Class
The leading rating agencies give a rating when a bond is first issued, and that rating determines how high the interest rate on that bond is. A higher rating means the bond will have a lower interest rate.
