I'm not sure how many of us were Navy brats or Navy personnel on here. But, US Navy's enlisted rank and their job can be told by what uniform and colors his rank is. I was a Navy Veteran brat and this has plagued me for about 27 years. Maybe this might help.
TO: Cobra Commander FROM: Copperhead DATE: 16APR1984 SUBJECT: Possible defector of Cobra: Ship-Rick. My First Mate on the Water Moccasin, a Ship-Rick. He was in the US Navy as a rating of Machinist Mate 1, he also held the rating of Gunners Mate 1. He then was about to be promoted to Chief. But he was in a bar brawl and his punishment was to be held back in rank. He met up with me at San Juan and came on board as my First Mate. Basically he became my gunner and mechanic on the Water Moccasin. He told me, he didnt want to join Cobra, but wanted to be part of my crew. So I let him. He placed his deserved rank of Chief Petty Officer on his sleeve anyway. I also found out he took his secondary rating of "Gunner's Chief" with Red stripes on blue uniform, he didnt use Machinist Chief which would be white rank on blue. I believe this is a contradiction to him. He wasnt authorized to wear the E-7 Chief's uniform, the normal khaki or whites uniform with the anchor on a Garrison cap. Instead, he wore his authorized dungarees and dixie cup, but yet he wore his unauthorized rank and rating of Chief. He spent a year with me and then I dropped him off in Casablanca. Last I heard he was laying low at one of your Cobra Bases in the Desert. Had enough money for a craft, but I had lost touch to discover of what make or model. I hear rumors he may plan to join up with the Joes. So beware, he does have some basic secret knowledge of COBRA. His real name sounded hispanic, but I dont remember it now. If this is true of his defection to the Joe team. With his qualifications you might see him on any Naval vessel, the WHALE, or even using the Whirlwind on land battles, since he is the only qualified Joe at this time to use the Whirlwind. Status of Message: LOST *Enclosed: A more believable look to Shipwreck Rating: GM2, paygrade: E-5 as seen in "Where the Reptile's Roam". *I forgave Cutter wearing dungarees because he wore a baseball cap and in the Coast Guard. But he was also in the wrong uniform too. So here is a picture of Cutter, in today's Navy uniform (just because my joe-verse Cutter is a Navy Lieutenant).
