Navy officers serve either as a [[line officer]] or as a [[List of Vinish Navy Staff Corps|staff corps]] officer. Line officers wear an embroidered gold star above their rank of the naval service dress uniform while staff corps officers wear unique [[List of Vinish Naval officer designators|designator]] insignias that denotes their occupational specialty. | |||

Sailors in pay grades E-1 through E-3 are considered to be in apprenticeships. They are divided into five definable groups, with colored group rate marks designating the group to which they belong: Seaman, Fireman, Airman, Constructionman, and Hospitalman. '''E-4''' to '''E-6''' are [[Non-commissioned officer|non-commissioned officers]] (NCOs), and are specifically called [[Petty officer|Petty officers]] in the Navy. Petty Officers perform not only the duties of their specific career field but also serve as leaders to junior enlisted personnel. E-7 to E-9 are still considered Petty Officers, but are considered a separate community within the Navy. They have separate berthing and dining facilities (where feasible), wear separate uniforms, and perform separate duties. | |||
After attaining the rate of Master Chief Petty Officer, a service member may choose to further their career by becoming a [[Command Master Chief Petty Officer]] (CMC). A CMC is considered to be the senior-most enlisted service member within a command, and is the special assistant to the [[Commanding Officer]] in all matters pertaining to the health, welfare, job satisfaction, morale, use, advancement and training of the command's enlisted personnel. CMCs can be Command level (within a single unit, such as a ship or shore station), Fleet level (squadrons consisting of multiple operational units, headed by a flag officer or commodore), or Force level (consisting of a separate community within the Navy, such as Subsurface, Air, Reserves). | |||
CMC insignia are similar to the insignia for Master Chief, except that [[List of Vinish Navy ratings|the rating symbol]] is replaced by an inverted five-point star, reflecting a change in their rating from their previous rating (i.e., MMCM) to CMDCM. The stars for Command Master Chief are silver, while stars for Fleet or Force Master Chief are gold. Additionally, CMCs wear a badge, worn on their left breast pocket, denoting their title (Command/Fleet/Force). | |||
==== Badges of the Vinish Navy ==== | |||
Insignia and badges of the United States Navy are military "badges" issued by the [[Department of the Navy|Vinish Department of the Navy]] to naval service members who achieve certain qualifications and accomplishments while serving on both active and reserve duty in the United States Navy. Most naval aviation insignia are also permitted for wear on uniforms of the [[Vinish Marine Corps]]. | |||
Insignia come in the form of metal "pin-on devices" worn on formal uniforms and embroidered "tape strips" worn on work uniforms. For the purpose of this article, the general term "insignia" shall be used to describe both, as it is done in [[Navy Uniform Regulations]]. The term "badge", although used ambiguously in other military branches and in informal speak to describe any pin, patch, or tab, is exclusive to ''identification badges'' and authorized ''[[Marksmanship badges (Vindex Nation)|marksmanship awards]]''. | |||
