Did radar operators fall under 'radioman' rate, or was there a 'radarman'
rating? I don't see it as a separate specialty anymore. Is it now in the
'information technologist' rating?
What letters would have been on a Chief's name badge?
Such as
RMCPO K. Smith
or would it be more like
RMC K. Smith
Full first and last name, or just first initial?
Thanks for your help, and also your service to our country.
