This is one of the major differences between Chiefs in the Coast Guard and their counterparts in the Army, Marine Corps, and Air Force. Coast Guard, the Chief is specifically tasked in writing with the duty of training junior officers (ensign, lieutenant (j.g.), lieutenant, and lieutenant commander). The proper form of address to a chief petty officer is simply "Chief". It consists of a fouled anchor with the Coast Guard Shield (in silver) superimposed, with stars above the anchor to indicate higher paygrades, similar to the dress blue insignia. However, all other uniforms use the fouled anchor device to denote rank. Their dress blue insignia consists of a perched eagle with spread wings atop a rating mark, with three gold chevrons and one "rocker" below inverted five-point stars above the crow denote the rank of senior chief (one star) or master chief (two stars). They serve as the day to day leaders and managers of the enlisted workforce, and routinely serve in command cadre positions. They have separate berthing and dining facilities (where feasible). All ranks from E-4 on also have the ability to perform a federal arrest while on duty.Į-7 to E-9 are still considered NCOs, but are considered a separate community within the Coast Guard, much like the U.S. It also is a precursor to the Chief's mess. The food is the same as that in the galley from which the other junior ranks eat. This manifests itself on small ships as a few reserved tables in the galley, but may be a separate seating area or space on board a large ship. Onboard ships, the first class petty officers become members of the First Class Mess which serves as a recognition of their status at the top of the junior enlisted ranks. However, the rank insignia worn on collars have yellow chevrons. The Coast Guard does not follow the Navy's practice of awarding gold chevrons for twelve years of good conduct, rather all petty officer rank chevrons and service hash marks are red, whereas gold is reserved for chief petty officers. Marines' MOS), with red chevron(s) denoting their relative rank below. Their sleeve insignia is a perched eagle with spread wings (also referred to as a "crow") atop a rating mark (a rating mark, or "rate" is a symbol denoting their job category, similar to U.S. Fireman Jones, Airman Apprentice Smith) by the generic appellation "seaman" or by her striker designation (BMSN Watson, MKFN Johnson).Į-4 to E-6 are considered to be non-commissioned officers (NCOs), and are specifically called petty officers in the Coast Guard. The serviceperson is addressed by his group designation, if known (e.g.
A specialty mark may be worn above the rank insignia, which denotes training in a particular field: either as an apprentice (one that is in search of a rating to join), or as a designated striker (one that has found a rating but is not yet a petty officer).
Junior enlisted personnel are broken up into three definable groups with colored insignia stripes designating with which group they belong.
