What is the Navy E-3 rank called?

• A. Seaman Recruit
• B. Seaman Apprentice
• C. Seaman
• D. Petty Officer Third Class

Answer: (C)

In the Navy, the pay grade E-3 carries the title Seaman. This is the middle stage of the three early enlisted ranks: E-1 is Seaman Recruit, E-2 is Seaman Apprentice, and E-3 is Seaman. The next step up, E-4, is Petty Officer Third Class, which marks the first level of a petty officer. So Seaman fits the E-3 level, while Seaman Recruit and Seaman Apprentice are the lower E-1 and E-2 ranks, and Petty Officer Third Class is the higher E-4 rank.
