>>89219Calm down bro. For the record, though, a boatswain's mate is the Navy equivalent of an AB as well. You chip paint, haul mooring lines, and work as a helmsman. It's okay.
And while I'm not in the deck department, my license says "First Engineer unlimited horsepower steam, motor, gas turbine," while my CAC says "Navy, O3, Lt." Let's stop internet arguing now. It's a waste of both of our times.
