The U.S. Coast Guard E-3 Seaman Rating Badge represents an important step in a Guardsman’s journey from apprentice to becoming fully trained in the field. Worn on the left sleeve, this badge clearly displays the rank, symbolizing growth, commitment, and readiness for advancement.

• Mark of Progression: Designates promotion to E-3 Seaman, .

• Non-Rate Designation: Like E-2s, Seamen at the E-3 level are still considered “non-rates” until they complete training for a specialized rating, but this badge signifies the highest step before striking a career path.

• Professional Construction: Made from durable, regulation-accurate materials for a sharp, inspection-ready look.

• Pride in Service: A visible emblem of professionalism, discipline, and dedication to the mission of the Coast Guard.

This badge is more than part of the uniform - it’s a symbol of advancement and the dedication it takes to serve and succeed in the United States Coast Guard.
