What does MoMM3c indicate?
The old Navy rating MoMM3c stands for "Motor Machinist's Mate, 3rd Class Petty Officer" - the rating was changed after WWII to just Machinist's Mate, and now encompasses many engineering/machinery jobs, from Nuclear Propulsion to Weapons (e.g., the old Torpedoman's rating was merged to MM).

History of torpedomans mate?
Torpedoman's mate was a United States Navy occupational rating for an enlisted naval serviceman whose main duties are the handling, preparation, and maintenance of torpedoes and other underwater ordnance, that are launched from submarines, surface ships and aircraft. This position was disestablished on October 1, 2007 and torpedo men of surface ships were given the gunner's mate rating and those on submarines were given the machinist's mate rating.
What does the abbreviation MML2 stand for in the US Navy?
"MM" is the standard rate designation for a Navy Machinist's Mate; however, there are many levels of MM specialties (e.g., nuclear, motorboat, auxiliary, aviation, etc., which is where the extra letter designator comes from. The increase in MM specialties is due to the Navy's policy of combining some older ratings (e.g., Torpedoman) into the MM rating to save money.The "L" designation indicates the sailor is a General Level (no specialty) Machinist's Mate; the "2" indicates rank, in this case a Petty Officer 2nd Class (E-5).

When did the current military system of ranks and ratings come about?
The military rating system is continually updated as technology improves, or in fiscally tight time, rates that overlap are merged into one to save training dollars. For example, the Torpedoman's Mate rating was merged into Machininist's Mate several year ago, and the Quartermaster rating was merged into the Electronics Technician rating. Rank-wise, the system has evolved somewhat, but has essentially been the same since the late 1800's/early 1900's, with ranks comprising junior enlisted, non-commissioned officers, warrant officers, and commissioned officers. The biggest change in the Navy was when the Chief Petty Officer rank was established in 1893, creating the senior non-com ranks.

Can a married couple join the navy?
You can, but like anyone in the Navy who's married and in-service, there's absolutely no guarantee that you'll be stationed together. While the detailers do their best to keep people together, the fact is that the needs of the Navy come first. My wife and I were pretty lucky - we were separated for about 9 months before we got married, and only separated for a few months during the time after we got married before we were finally stationed at the same port. But some aren't as lucky; one friend of mine whose wife was a Seabee was transferred to Okinawa for a year. Being a submarine Torpedoman, there's of course no billet there for him. The first year or so that you're in you'll be in constant training anyway, and moving from command to command in a temporary duty status, making it nearly impossible to stay together. Bottom line is that while it might sound good on paper, the reality is that it's a huge gamble, and the odds aren't in your favor.

Can you change from surface fleet to submarines?
If you're insane enough, absolutely. I had many friends (well, not MANY) who were originally Surface Navy and volunteered for Submarine Duty. The Submarine Force is all volunteer; in addition to a relative rating (i.e., not surface specific, like a Storekeeper or Boatswain's Mate) all you need to do is volunteer, and pass the subsequent physical and psychological testing. Aside from the minimum Administrative crew complement (Admin, Medical, Supply), submarine crew ratings are typically specialized in either Engineering, Electrical, or Electronic rates these days. Even the Torpedoman and Quartermaster rates have been combined into Machinist's Mate and Electronic Techs. Submarine duty is considered hazardous duty, and members are compensated with hazard pay. Most guys I've known who've made the switch have enjoyed it, since the crews are smaller and more tight-knit, and the professionalism is a lot higher as well. Also, in the Submarine Navy, your respect is earned by your ability and qualifications, not necessarily your rank. A senior enlisted who is unqualified in submarines is just a FLOB (Free Loading Oxygen Breather) and is no different than any other rank that isn't qualified. A junior enlisted member who is Qualified in Submarines is considered more valuable. Rank is still respected of course, but within the crew, overall respect must be earned by ability, actions, and hard work; you don't trust anyone who can't cut it during an emergency, since you don't have as much time to respond and contain a problem like surface vessels do. I remember one Master Chief Radioman who made the switch from Surface to Submarines and felt his rank should give him everything without any work. He lasted one deployment - the CO fired him after he lost the respect of the entire crew. It isn't easy by any means - but I wouldn't trade the experience for anything.
