It's a medal for sailors and Marines who do their jobs in a particularly exemplary manner.  If you just do your job well, you get your paycheck.  If you do it really well, you may get some sort of certificate from the command, or be names Sailor/Marine of the Quarter for your unit.  You have to really stand out to get a Navy Achievement Medal (NAM), though, especially in the Marine Corps.\n\nIt's recipients are 'usually' mid-grade enlisted (E-5 and above) and junior officers (O-1 to O-3).  The next higher medal for how well you do your job is the Navy/Marine Corps Commandation Medal (a 'COM'), which is harder to get.  \n\nThese are normally different from medals earned for a single heroic action, such as a bronze or silver star, but there are always exceptions-- a member of the military can get a NAM or a COM for a single (and pretty spectacular) action, but it's more rare.  Usually the medal is awarded at the end of a tour, and characterizes the entire tour.

well.. if you don't care about your benefits, and don't plan on coming back in the military... then no... it simply means that you are unqualified for military service... Now the truth is it is usually associated with some sort of physical or moral disqualification.  \n\nMany employers ask if you've ever served in the military and if so did you receive an Honorable Discharge... a General Discharge is considered the same as a Less Than Honorable discharge. What a future employer may or may not do with this information is up to them I suppose... but that is the only effect that I can see in a RE-4 w/ General Discharge.

I came in as an E-1.  I got E-2 out of boot camp.  I got E-4 and E-5 first time up.  I put on E-6 right at the 6 year mark.  Chief Petty Officer at 10 1/2 years.

The military will treat a 99 and a 50 the same (99 is perfect). What you may get (from the Army-only branch to gurantee everyone the exact job) is more choices, but they all have to offer whatever is on teh system. You will not get a bigger bonus, shorter enlistment, or anything else that is not in the system for everyone else that qualifies for the position. \n\nYes, 4 or 5 others may have gotten a perfect score, it is graded on a curve. Basically, mathematicall, 1 in 99 should get a 99. If you are in a place with 500 people, 4 or 5 should have a 99. If you are in Satellite Communicatios, 4 out of 6 probably have a 99, since the minimum score to get the required line score is about a 94 on the test.

Specialist 4th Class.  They are often called Spec fours.  \n\nBasically you join up and are a private E-1 through basic training.  Next rank is private E-2, then moving up to Private First Class E-3.  Then it gets a little more complicated.  E-4 is either a Specialist 4th Class or a Corporal.  The difference between the two is that a Corporal is a leadership position.  Specialist is just that, a specialist.  After than come the Sergeant ranks.  Might just be easier looking at the link below.

It's the rank of Specialist.  Such as Specialist John Doe, abbreviated as SPC John Doe..  It's the pay grade of E-4.  It's an Army rank.

The Specialist ranks were designed for people who had accrued a great deal of skill and experience as, well, specialists, and even if they weren't seen as overall leaders like NCO's they should still be rewarded and recognized for their excellence and perseverance. I believe the higher grades have been removed because, as a person becomes that adept, they are felt to inherently gain leadership skills, and again should be recognized.

cmartin0203 is correct about E-8 and E-9.  Senior chiefs are E-8 and Master chiefs are E-9.\n\nSorry for getting a little picky, but NY-Guy is partially correct about E1-E3.  The title depends on the rating (job you have) i.e. an Electronic's technician would be a Seaman while a Machinist's Mate would be considered a Fireman:\nE-1: Seaman recruit, Fireman recruit\nE-2: Seaman apprentice, Fireman apprentice\nE-3: Seaman, Fireman\n\nAlso, what about Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy?  They're still E-9, but their uniform has 3 Chevrons, rocker, 3 stars over rocker and crow.\n\nBTW, with 1yr, 8mos in, your father was probably an E-3, possibly an E-4.

There are several branches of the military with several different ranks (like army/navy/marine corps/air force/etc.)\n\nFirst resource states:\nArmy Ranks are broken down by enlisted and officer.\n\nEnlisted Ranks\n  E-1 Private\n  E-2 Private\n  E-3 Private First Class\n  E-4 Specialist\n  E-5 Sergeant\n  E-6 Staff Sergeant\n  E-7 Sergeant First Class\n  E-8 Master Sergeant\n  E-8 First Sergeant\n  E-9 Sergeant Major\n  E-9 Command Sergeant Major\n  E-10 Sergeant Major of the Army\n\nWarrant Officer Ranks\n  W-1 Warrant Officer 1\n  W-2 Chief Warrant Officer 2\n  W-3 Chief Warrant Officer 3\n  W-4 Chief Warrant Officer 4\n  W-5 Master Warrant Officer 5\n\nOfficer Ranks\n  O-1 Second Lieutenant\n  O-2 First Lieutenant\n  O-3 Captain\n  O-4 Major\n  O-5 Lieutenant Colonel\n  O-6 Colonel\n  O-7 Brigadier General\n  O-8 Major General\n  O-9 Lieutenant General\n  O-10 General\n  O-10 General of the Army (wartime rank)\n\nI could paste the rest in this answer, but what I will do is give you some website resources to read up on the other forces of the military.  See below resources.

warrant officer IS a rank (Warrent Officer 1, Chief Warrant 2, 3 & 4). The difference is a warrant officer is not "Commissioned" as a so-called regular officer. Commissioned officers hold presidential commissions and are confirmed at their ranks by the Senate. Warrant officers hold warrants from their service secretary and are specialists and experts in certain military technologies or capabilities. Check with the recruiter for details. Don't bother with Air Force... they do not have Warrent Officers.\n\nEdit: No offense to Jim below, but part of his answer is incorrect. A CW2 in the army has the exact same pay as a CW2 in the navy. The payscale is DoD based, not service specific.
