Gunners Mate Master Chief
Pay Grade E-4 (enlisted 4), the lowest rank of a noncommissioned officer (NCO), the same as a corporal in the US Army or Marines. Just above Seaman and below Gunners Mate 2nd Class. Its a type of Petty Officer. The Navy's system is a combination of "rating", (here Gunners Mate) and "rate" (here, Petty Officer 3rd Class) and they are combined into "Gunners Mate 3rd". Petty Officers in the Navy have specialized training, and there are a large number of rates, each with its own special insignia. All Petty Officers wear a sleeve insignia showing their rating and rate. At the top is an eagle, above the insignia of their specialty - for a gunners mate, two crossed cannon. Below that are upside down chevrons (compared to the way an army or marine sergeant wears his). One chevron below is 3rd class, two is second, petty officer first class.
