The actual title for an E-2 in the U.S. Navy varies based on the community to which the sailor belongs. Likewise, the color of their group rate marks also depends on their community.
Those in the general deck and administrative community are Seamen Apprentice. They wear White stripes on navy blue uniforms, and navy blue (black) stripes on white uniforms.
Hospital Corpsmen are Hospital Apprentice. They are the only rate in this community. They wear White stripes on navy blue uniforms, and navy blue stripes on white uniforms.
Dental Techs are called Dental Apprentice. They are the only rate in this community. They wear White stripes on navy blue uniforms, and navy blue stripes on white uniforms.
Those in the engineering and hull community are called Firemen Apprentice and wear red strips on both navy blue and white uniforms.
Those in the aviation community are called Airmen Apprentice and wear green stripes on both navy blue and white uniforms.
Seabees are called Constructionmen Apprentice and wear light blue stripes on both navy blue and white uniforms.
No stripes are worn on the working uniforms - coveralls or utilities.
Sailors who have completed the requirements to be assigned a rating and have been accepted by the Bureau of Naval Personnel as holding that rating (a process called "striking") are called Designated Strikers, and are called by their full rate and rating in formal communications (ie, Machinist's Mate Fireman Apprentice, as opposed to simply Fireman Apprentice), though the rating is often left off in informal communication. Those who have not officially been assigned to a rating are officially referred to as "Undesignated" or "Non-rates." AHHHHHHH THIS IS HACKED!
Seaman Recruit is the lowest enlisted rank in the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard, just below SeamanApprentice; this rank was formerly known as Seaman Third Class.
Barring cases of demotion, seaman recruits are almost exclusively found in basic training, as advancement to SeamanApprentice is mostly automatic, shortly after completion of basic training.
Seaman recruits do not bear any uniform rank insignia (although at one time they did, in the form of one diagonal stripe, which the coast guard still uses for their E-1s), which would normally be worn on the left sleeve.
