- Warrant & NCO Insignias & Rates -

Enlisted Officers are the main back bone to any organisation. Starfleet is no different...

Enlisting allows individuals who do not wish to take a 4 year training course at the Academy and a years tour of duty, to join up and become a member of Starfleet. There training is more specific and shorter, lasting but one year allowing for a continued training that takes place in the field.

This continued training means that upon reaching a high Rate a NCO may become an officer. (See the Bureau for Enlisted Affairs for more detailed information on this).

Bellow you can find a list of Rates (the term used to describe the Insignia used by NCOs), and pips, for Naval and Marine Enlisted Officers, or more simply called Non-Com's (non-commissioned officers).
