1. Part of the e-Sailor series of mobile apps, US Military Rank & Reference uses a short game scenario for quick and enhanced learning.
2. The US Military Rank & Reference app provides a fun, easy way to learn Military ranks and insignia across all branches of the Military.
3. The US Military Rank & Reference app also includes a sortable reference area to review full sets of cross-service rank indicators for a variety of Military personnel: Enlisted, Non-Commissioned Officers (NCO), and Officers.
4. The game randomly generates elements associated with Military rank, including collar devices, insignia on sleeves, and shoulder boards.
5. As most service members know, learning how to recognize who to salute and address properly by rank or uniform insignia is an integral part of any Military career.
6. The e-Sailor initiative was instituted by the Master Chief Petty Office of the Navy. e-Sailor leverages state-of-the-art mobile technologies to transform training and enhance curriculum delivery methodologies at Recruit Training Command.
7. The app is a great visual tool for learning Military ranks and can be revisited frequently by anyone desiring refresher training.
8. The user can see and identify all ranks across the Navy – from basic training when they are a Seaman to Chief Petty Officer to ranks of senior Admirals.
9. The game provides multiple-choice visual selections and provides points for each correct answer.
10. A timing element in the game awards additional points for timely correct answers.
11. By selecting the correct answer before the timer runs out, a user earns bonus points.
1. As the Navy only has WO1 for one field, shouldn't the insignia use that instead of the Boatswain's? And now that the US Space Force has its own insignias and rank names, perhaps it's time to update this app with those.Title very misleadingly unless you read the whole description, it's a game, I wanted a reference to the ranks and patches and it's not as far as I can see.
2. Can't wait for the space force ranksI was looking for an app like this but It doesn't have it for the Coast Guard which I need but other than that I would recommend to anyone who needs it for other branches.Information is outdated.
3. I enjoy the quizzes...🇺🇲This really helped me study and recognize the varies Navy Ranks in a fun way! It does also have the ranks of the other branches which is good!Fantastic and easy to use.
4. Next is to include the Coast Guard, and the Commissioned Corps of both the USPHS Commissioned Corps (with both the names for each rank) and the NOAA Commissioned Officer Corps.
5. The reference section is laid out well and with just one touch you get to see all the information you need (collar, sleeve, shoulder, and cover) for the insignia.
6. It would have benefitted me and my platoon-mates when we went through BCT ages ago! I just realized that the Navy WO1 is using the Boatswain's insignia.
7. Maybe they should teach me that instead 😂 But all jokes aside this game actually did teach me some things about the Marines, Navy and more.
8. I do like that the app is up-to-date with the very recent revival of the US Navy Warrant Officer (W-1).
9. Instead of "8 out of 10" you'd recieve a score of maybe 4500? You must know collar, shoulder, and sleeve markings and there's no real study materials.
10. First, is to have the Warrant Officers listed as "Warrant" since they are prefaced in paygrade by W or CW and a note that CW2~5 are considered commissioned.
11. This is what happens when the government spends money.Good app to know all of the different ranks of the United States military.
