Need advice and opinions from those who served

Here's a link to the wiki page on Naval rating insignias.

If you can ID it and it's not a discontinued I'd be happy to pick one up from the Navy Exchange for you. I'll be heading back to CO within the next two weeks so it works out well.

Thanks for the link.

This is the symbol that was between the bars and stripes.



I'd have to try to figure out the stripes. I might have a photo somewhere of my dad in his Navy uniform. Maybe I can see it in the picture.
