Find your equivalent Navy Reserve rate/rank Rate/Rank Converter

Rates, ranks and terminology that indicate a servicemember’s status differ by military branch. But grades (E-1 to E-9 for Enlisted and O-1 to O-10 for Officer) indicate how status equates across the uniformed services. Find where you stand and how your previous pay grade compares.

The Navy Reserve will make every effort to place you in the same pay grade you previously held. Contact a Navy Reserve Recruiter for details. See the charts below to determine your equivalent rate/rank in the Navy Reserve.
