Yes. Anyone holding a rating also is eligible for the credit recommended in the general rate exhibit. The six general rates in the Navy are: Airman, Constructionman, Dentalman, Fireman, Hospitalman, and Seaman. The Coast Guard has two general rates: Seaman and Fireman. The Career Pattern section in the rating exhibit will indicate the general rate that the individual held before progressing to the rating. Evaluators should consider the credit recommended for the general rate in conjunction with the credit recommendation for the rating.
