The "Officer of the Deck" does not have to do with rank, it is a duty position which rotates between personnel on watch.

Is a brigadier the same as second lieutenant?

No, a brigadier is not the same as a second lieutenant. A brigadier is a higher rank, typically a one-star general in the army, while a second lieutenant is an entry-level officer rank. The two ranks represent different levels of responsibility and authority within the military hierarchy.


Which is a higher rank in the military an E6 petty officer first class in the navy or a 2nd lieutenant in the army?

Officers outrank enlisted personnel. Thus, a Second Lieutenant - which is 01 - outranks an E6 in any branch of service, whether Navy (Petty Officer First Class), Coast Guard (same rank as Navy), Army (Staff Sergeant), Marine Corps (Staff Sergeant), or Air Force (Technical Sergeant).

Is Major and Lieutenant Commander the same rank?

Major (US Army, USAF, USMC) and Lieutenant Commander (US Navy, US Coast Guard and other uniformed services that use the Navy ranking system) are absolutely equivalent ranks. They are NOT subordinate to each other by the virtue of the rank alone. Although, there is a subtle difference. While Lieutenant Commander is the Navy's first commissioned officer to be selected by the board, he/she is considered a Junior Officer due to the origin of the rank's name, as "Lieutenant, Commanding." This is demonstrated by the fact that Lieutenant Commanders do not wear the gold embellishment on their combination covers and visors, whereas Majors wear the appropriate covers of field grade officers (e.g. Lieutenant Colonel, Commander, Colonel, Navy Captain.)

What was John F. Kennedy in the military?

JFK was a lieutenant junior grade. A lieutenant (jg) was the same as first lieutenant in the other branches, paygrade O-2. Kennedy had entered the service as an ensign, the lowest officer rank in the US Navy (O-1), the equivalent of second lieutenant in the other branches. Kennedy was directly commissioned from civilian life, after flunking out of Harvard, due to his father's influence. His father was US Ambassador to Great Britain and he wanted John to serve as an assistant Naval Attache at his embassy.

What is the order of rank for the us airforce army?

Your question is somewhat confusing, but I will try to answer it. If you want the rank structure for the United States Army Air Corps (pre-1947) it is: Private, Private First Class, Corporal or Technician 5th Grade, Sergeant or Technician 4th Grade, Staff Sergeant or Technician 3rd Grade, Technical Sergeant, Master Sergeant or First Sergeant. The officer grades have remained the same: 2nd Lieutenant, 1st Lieutenant, Captain, Major, Lieutenant Colonel, Colonel, Brigadier General, Major General, Lieutenant General and General.

What is a US Navy watch commander's job?

An Watch Leader (Section Leader) either in port or underway, is responsible for overseeing and coordinating the current stationed watch section. It doesn't necessarily have to be an Officer, though an Officer typically is in charge overall, with a senior Petty Officer actually doing the actual coordination and administration.Underway, the watch commander is the Officer of the Deck - in port, the title is either Officer of the Day or Officer of the Deck, depending on where the command is located. In any case, the duty is the same - act as the senior supervisor for the current watch section, which typically involves safety, security, communications and maintenance operations for the command.
