During WW II, these rates included Boatswains Mate, Turret Captain, Signalman, Gunners Mate, Fire Controlman, Quartermaster, Mineman, and Torpedomans Mate. Other ratings wore rates on the left sleeve. For planning purposes, the following members have been slated to attend the Chief Petty Officer Academy. If you did not receive your selected choice, that class date was already filled.
Operational commitments take first priority in assigning class dates.
Your name will be removed or added to an alternate date as a standby. If you desire to change class dates for reasons that are not supported by your command or operational commitments, you are responsible to find someone in another class to change with. To date the report has been briefed through the Assistant Commandants for Operations, Systems, Marine Safety and Environmental Protection, Human Resources, and the Chief Information Officer. The report was reviewed and adjustments were suggested to clarify and amplify certain aspects of the report. Once the adjustments to the final report are completed, it will be available on the JRR website.
