Where is the FN Rate Designation?

I've asked this question several times now and still have not received a response...I have never been a Seaman - I have always been a "Fireman" - so why cant I change this on my profile?

Sorry for asking, but was your rank or your job? Even being Army, I never saw a rank of fireman on any of the rank conversion charts I ever looked at going back to '87.

Alas, RP doesn't handle the navy's enlisted rates well. On the other hand, it's the only place I've seen that understands that there's a difference between the Navy's LT bars and the Army's Captain bars.

I think if you send the discrepancy to RP through the feedback link on the right side of the page, it may make it to the right people so that it can be corrected. I have a similar issue with not being able to put in my original specialty in my profile because it is now obsolete. I have to select 'Other' instead of Port Security Specialist.

Yeah, this has always annoyed me. The only time I was a Seaman was the 2 months at Great Lakes as an SR, but since, until I made MM3, I was a Fireman, and damn proud of it.

FN Mike McCormack - We've taken care of the issue. As you can see, you are now FN McCormack. Sorry for the delay... and thanks for the feedback.

All other sailors can now add SN/CN/AN/FN/HN designations to their profiles as well.
