Here is another site with lots of info:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_Navy_ratings

Google is amazing :-)

United States Navy ratings are general occupations that consist of specific skills and abilities. Each naval rating has its own specialty badge, which is worn on the left sleeve of the uniform by each enlisted person in that particular field. Working uniforms, such as camouflage Battle Dress Uniforms, utilities, coveralls, and Naval Work Uniform, bear generic rate designators that exclude the rating symbol. Just as an officer has rank, not a rate, an officer's occupation (if drawn more narrowly than an officer of the line) is classified according to designators and professional staff corps.[1]

There are a couple other things about the DIv. They do fill up according to when they arrive except for the 800 and 900 divisions. The 800 DIV is made up of those who are in Special OP's and the 900 DIV is the preforming DIV's with the band, choir/flag corp/drill team/etc.
Comment by proud2baNavyMom on August 24, 2011 at 10:49pm
Hey Julie, Had not completely checked my son's box yet.  Guess what?  He sent home 3 socks not 4.  ??????? could it be your SR and mine were next to each other when boxes were packed??????
