 Welcome to All Hands Update. Here's what's happening around your Navy. The Navy announced a new nav admin to modernize enlisted rating titles for sailors with a new classification system that focuses on occupational specialty codes. Our new approach will be to track an alphanumeric Navy Occupational Specialty or NOS code, much like the other services do now. And so effective today, we will do away with rating titles and address each other by our rank. Seaman, Petty Officer, Chief, and so on. This is the first step in modernizing our system. In aligning the descriptions of the work our sailors do with their counterparts in the civilian world, we more closely reflect the nation we protect. While also making it easier for our sailors to obtain the credentials they'll need to be successful in the private sector.
