Description

Crewman Apprentice (CA) is the second lowest enlisted rank in Starfleet above Crewman Recruit and below Crewman; this rank was formerly known as Crewman Second Class.

The actual title for an E-2 in Starfleet varies based on the community to which the Crewman belongs. Likewise, the color of their group rate marks also depends on their community.

•           E-2s in the general deck and administrative community are Crewman Apprentice.

•           E-2s Hospital Corpsmen are Hospitalman Apprentice. This is the only rating in this community.

•           E-2s in the engineering and hull community are Engineering Apprentice.

•           E-2s in the Shuttle and Flight Deck community are called Shuttleman Apprentice.

Personnel who have completed the requirements to be assigned a rating and have been accepted by the Bureau of Starfleet Personnel as holding that rating (a process called "striking") are called designated strikers, and are called by their full rate and rating in formal communications (e.g., "Engineering mate fireman Apprentice", as opposed to simply "Engineering Apprentice"), though the rating is often left off in informal communication. Those who have not officially been assigned to a rating are officially referred to as "undesignated" or "non-rates".
