Navy Dopers - A question about your 'ratings'.

I’m just a confused Air Force Civil Engineer. :smiley:

Just what is a ‘yeoman’ and a ‘boatswain’ (I know it’s pronounced “bosun”). Is this a general rating used for ‘unclassified’ personnel? What are they tasked to do? Are they specialists or generalists?

Like I said, I’m confused.

Shoot. Forgot where I originally found my question.

Again, curious.

Aaaaah. Search is a beautiful thing. . .

I think I found my answer.

Thanks!
