I need some help for the Navy!
 
Hi dear teachers!

I �ve never used this forum, but I really need some help from some Native Speakers, because I need very specific vocabulary related to the navy ranges.

Of course I know we have a Captain, Officers and sailors, but I need all the positions in the Navy and It �s very difficult to find books with this information. I found a couple of things, but the terms change from British to American English, so could you please help me if you have some information or a useful website.

I �ll wait for your suggestions and THANKS A LOT teachers!

Hi, I �m not a native speaker but I �ve found the following links you might want to check out.

http://www.navy.mil/navydata/ranks/rankrate.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_Navy_ratings
http://www.royalnavalmuseum.org/info_sheets_nav_rankings.htm

I hope you find them useful.

click the "ranks and insignias" link about half way down the page
 
(they are called "ranks", not "ranges")

Dear Vicky,
 
 
In the UK armed forces, men and women are called �ranks �.  "I am the Rank of Sergeant."
 
In the Royal Navy, they are called �ratings �.  "I am a Royal Navy Rating --- I have the Rating: �Able-Bodied Seaman �."
 
I hope that this helps.
