[QUOTE="Terry292, post: 445775, member: 674"] That makes sense. Boatswain's, Gunner's, Torpedoman's, and Signalman's Mates all wore their rate on the right sleeve until sometime in the 1950s. Dad was in the Navy, too, during WWII. He achieved the rate of Ship's Cook, 2nd Class on a Landing Craft, Tank (LCT) in the South Pacific. He didn't have much to say about his naval service, though, having survived the invasions of Peleliu and Okinawa. I salute your father for his service. Without the Greatest Generation, where would we be today? [/QUOTE]
