Yes all my SR wears is white socks. Is it a long sock or an ankle sock
He had mentioned he had a friend, he too is going to TX for HM A school. Could it be??? That would be awesome.
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]
I found this website that has helped me alot regarding info and vocabulary, maybe you ould check it out. www.navy-info.com On the bottom of the page you can click on the links and get lots of info. Alot of stuff I wish I had read before he left as well.
OOPs also Rates are as follow:
