Sorry, your correction isn't correct. Navy enlisted Sailors do not have "rank", they have rates. Naval Officers have ranks. Rate is the pay grade and rating is the job.
Good try though.
your correction of the correction is wrong!... E-5 is not a rate, it's a rank. Your rank is your paygrade. your rate is your job.
The Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) system supplements the enlisted rating structure in identifying personnel on active or inactive duty and billets in manpower authorizations. NEC codes identify a non-rating wide skill, knowledge, aptitude, or qualification that must be documented to identify both people and billets for management purposes.
I was always under the impression that your "rate" was a combination of your paygrade (E-6) and your rating (BM). So your rate was would be BM1.
Big Navy, however, disagrees:
"The use of the word "rank" for Navy enlisted personnel is incorrect. The term is "rate." The rating badge is a combination of rate (pay grade, as indicated by the chevrons) and rating (occupational specialty, as indicated by the symbol just above the chevrons)."

Your point is well taken. That, however, doesn't change the fact that the official Navy position is as I quoted above.
