The ratings are a way of classifying what you do in the navy. For example, we have many rates that work on my plane. The rating is there to symbolize what each person does. So an "AT" works on avionics or an "AME" fixes our oxygen tanks, the AW's fly. So now, its all gone, they are just PO's (petty officers) with a number designation.
It wasn't broke, so why fix it. The main issue I have with this is the tradition in our ratings. Each person takes pride in their rating symbol and this history of those who wore it before us.
