I'm working on a book on my wife's grandfather that was in the Navy during WWII. He was on the Rudyerd Bay. In looking through his service record I'm trying to figure out his ranks. A/S - apprentice seaman?? S 2/c - seaman 2nd class ?? AMM 3/c - Aviation machinist's mate 3rd class AMM 2/c - Aviation machinist's mate 2nd class ABM(G) 2/c - Aviation Boatswain's Mates ???? 2nd class - What's the (G)? ABM(G) 1/c(T) - Aviation Boatswain's Mates????? 1st class ??? - what's the (G) and (T)? any info is appreciated, thanks.
thanks but that doesn't have the (g) listed or the (t) it lists the following for ABM ABM(AG) - Aviation Boatswain's Mate (Arresting Gear and Barrier) ABM(CP) - Aviation Boatswain's Mate (Catapult) ABM(GA) - Aviation Boatswain's Mate (Gasoline Systems) ABM(PH) - Aviation Boatswain's Mate (Plane Handler)
found something else in the service record that states his rank as ABM (Ga) A/S - apprentice seaman S 2/c - seaman 2nd class AMM 3/c - Aviation machinist's mate 3rd class AMM 2/c - Aviation machinist's mate 2nd class ABM(GA) 2/c - Aviation Boatswain's Mates (Gasoline Systems) 2nd class ABM(GA) 1/c (T) - Aviation Boatswain's Mates (Gasoline Systems) 1st class ??? - what's the (T)? Now to track down what the (T) is...
