A Yeoman (YN) rating is a clerk or records keeper.

"A yeoman must be of keen intellect, ambitious worker, conscientious objector towards right or wrong, a brilliant conversationalist, a dramatic orator, an excellent mathematician, a handsome courier, and a genial personality. Very few of the specie of mankind can come up to these standards of perfection and, consequently, deteriorate into machinist mates (aviation and otherwise), quartermasters, ship's cooks, radiomen, and some even go so low as to become pharmacist's mates."

From So You Wanna Be a Yeoman, published in OUR NAVY, 1945.
