    have you heard the new slogan for your beloved Rate? being as its A420 NOS now the slogan goes "If you aint lit you aint shit". I think it took the AOs about a day to come up with that slogan..

    For those not aware, Naval Ratings were reinstated as detailed in a NavAdmin message released yesterday. I guess they heard this bunch of Tundra owners got involve and said Oh Shite!

    Thank heavens. Ray Mabus is the most destructive entity in history to the Navy and the Marine Corps. There isn't enough hate in the world to describe how I feel towards that man.

    @BRNG ITT - here's the message.

    SUBJ/NAVY RATING MODERNIZATION NEXT STEPS//
    RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN announces updates to the implementation effort to transform current Navy Enlisted Career Management processes.
    2. This NAVADMIN supersedes NAVADMIN 218/16 and directs the restoration of Navy Rating Titles.
    3. Our goals for modernizing the enlisted career development program – rating modernization – are to provide greater choice and flexibility for our Sailors with respect to detailing and training, to provide greater flexibility for the Navy in assigning highly trained personnel, and to increase professional alignment with civilian employers. We strongly believe that providing this flexibility will make us a more capable Navy.
    4. Since we made the initial rating modernization announcement in September, the SECNAV, MCPON and I, along with other Navy leadership, have had the opportunity to speak with thousands of Sailors during our travels throughout the fleet. The feedback from current and former Sailors has been consistent that there is wide support for the flexibility that the plan offers, but the removal of rating titles detracted from accomplishing our major goals. Furthermore, there has been a solid body of thoughtful input that pointed out that there is a way to have the benefits of the rating modernization program without removing rating titles.
    5. I have been adamant that our Navy needs to be a fast-learning organization - that includes our leadership. The Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority states that our most junior teammate may have the best idea and that we must be open to capturing that idea. We have learned from you, and so effective immediately, all rating names are restored.
    6. This course correction doesn’t mean our work is done – rating modernization will continue for all the right reasons. Modernizing our industrial-age personnel system in order to provide Sailors choice and flexibility still remains a priority for us. As we execute the rating modernization plan, more Sailors will have multiple occupational skill sets or ratings. We will need to tackle the issue of managing rating names. We will continue to involve Sailors throughout the Fleet, using the Rating Modernization working group to figure out how to best do that.
    7. Every Fleet, Force and Command Master Chief, and all Navy Counselors know how to provide input to our working groups. You also have a direct line to send your ideas to me at “NavyRatingMod.fct@navy.mil”.
    8. Learning faster requires having a plan, getting feedback, and quickly acting on that feedback. This adjustment reflects our commitment to fast learning at every level. As this process moves forward we will continue to assess our performance and correct our course as appropriate.
    10. Released by Adm. John Richardson, CNO.//

    Appreciate it. I was messing with you a little bit because I had revived this thread up top with a link to an article saying that ratings have been restored. :)

    From what I understand the CNO recently did a tour of stateside bases and got a lot of questions on this subject. I find it humorous at how poorly thought out this was, how quickly it was rushed to implement the policy, all the flailing around that was done to change name tags, desk label plates, email signatures, etc. Now it is being walked back. New Sheriff in town?
