Permalink Reply by Mary, Proud Mom of Nick on June 10, 2009 at 8:16pm: It is confusing. I always thought it was weird - why does a 3rd class have one stripe where a 1st class has three stripes - should it be the other way around?!!!

Then again an E3 has three stripes...why do they take those off and just wear one when they become a 3rd class?!!!! Never did get a handle on that during my Navy wife days!; ▶ Reply to This
