B. Second rank (top, right side), CAPT (O6), USN; left and lower right are Petty Officer ranks PO1 and PO3, respectively... and of course there was no Google consultation here, just years of working Jointly! Now, hopefully all is correct here, or I'm sure that our RP Navy personnel will have a field day! lol :)

A is a first class petty officer. That isn't an O6 symbol on the top. It's the crow.

Ok I'm the dumb new guy on here. I didn't know you could click the picture and there would be more. Oh well. Now the Maj's answers make more sense.

When I was a Marine we had a TAD to Patrick AFB and as we were walking to the chow hall or whatever the USAF calls it we happened by a USAF 2nd Lt. We did not salute because we didn't notice him at first. When he challenged us one of the Sgts with us went on this very long explanation how we were Marines which came under the Department of the Navy which was a sea faring fighting military under & naval customs we were prohibited from saluting on USAF bases unless inside and then only to the base C.O. It was a very impressive talk. Short story the air force Lt. shook his head up & down said he understood and we should get to the chow hall before it closed.

Master Chief no he did not. He was one of those rare breeds that enlist even with a degree. He attended Princeton so he used a lot of big words. lol BTW MC did I see you were an ET? Two years after getting out of the Corps I enlisted in the Navy became an ET asked for a carrier on west coast & spent all my time at the Pentagon. Also I am a real ET down to descret component no board/box swapper.

That is the way I was taught troubleshooting and always did it. In fact as an Instructor, that is what we demanded of our students when I taught ET School in both Comm and Radar branches before I became Senior Instructor of ET Schools. When & Where did you go to ET School Corporal Wagner? Maybe I was there then.

I attended ET A school from July 1986 to April 1987. Unfortunately I was there when a Pakistani national brought a gun to an ARB and shot and killed Senior Chief Hull and wounded others sitting on the ARB. What a disgusting piece of crap. Unfortunately he survived but I hope he fell many times before making it to the brig.

I left there in 1984 and heard about the incident. By the time you went to ET School I was Command Master Chief of USS Nashville (LPD-13 out of Norfolk, VA. (She was my last Gator, but not my last tour with Marines.)
