The rating badge indicates the wearer’s rate/pay grade. It consists of a perched eagle with the wings extended upward and the head to eagle’s right. Chevron(s) and star(s) indicate the wearer’s pay grade. The color of the chevrons for E-4 through E-6 is scarlet with the background the same color as the jacket.

The badge will be placed on the outer side of the left sleeve of the Service Dress Blue coat and both Dinner Dress Jackets. The badge is placed midway between the shoulder and the elbow, midway between the front and back crease.
