[QUOTE="Fyrtwuck, post: 2911881, member: 23"] I think this is going to affect morale in the Navy more than anything. Many of those sailors were proud to achieve those ratings. When I was in the AF, we had different "function badges" that were sewn into the utilities similar to the Airborne and CIB patches on the Army uniforms. Ours denoted basic, senior and master levels of our job titles. No difference in pay, but just a little something to be proud of. I know I would be angry if some chair warmer came in and told me I had to take it off. I wasn't in the Navy, but do the different ratings have any effect on pay or is pay based solely on E-1 through E-9 grades? To look at it from a bean counters perspective, I'm sure there will be thousands of dollars saved by not having to have rank patches with different ratings sewn in the design. [/QUOTE]
