Officially, according to U.S. Navy records, the modern-day Master-at-Arms rating was re-established on August 1, 1973 in accordance with BUPERS Note 1440 Change-1. As a rating and rate, it has been in existence since the creation of the U.S. Navy after the Congressional passing of the Naval Act of July 1, 1797. This rating is considered one of the oldest still existing today along with the Boatswain's Mate, Gunner's Mate, Quartermaster, and Yeoman.

Who was the first US Navy Signalman?

Not sure about male, but I found the first female Signalman was Elizabeth Nelson-Hein of Jasper, Alabama. The U.S. Navy disestablished the rating of Signalman in late 2003, reassigning visual communications duties to the Quartermaster rating. Signalmen were either absorbed into the Quartermaster rating, or allowed to switch to other job fields in the Navy. Many chose the Master-at-Arms rating, which expanded dramatically to meet the needs of the Navy in the War on Terror.

Why do officers wear their rank on their shoulders and enlisted on their sleeves?

US military officers wear their rank on their shoulders and enlisted personnel wear their rank on their sleeves. This is meant to be symbolic of the fact that the enlisted use their arms (strength) to win battles. Officers on the other hand have the weight of command (decisions) on their shoulders . Thus, the tradition follows.


Master at Arms?

The Master at Arms (MA) is a rating designation for active duty and reservist members of the United States Navy who specialize in law enforcement, security and weapons handling. Each and every military base or structure has a designated Military Police Department or Security Department. The Master at Arms specialists are the Navy's police officers and they are the ones that usually carry out police and security duties onboard ship and shore installations. When processing into the Navy, service members are instructed to choose a rating designation for the specific job that they will be doing while enlisted. For those that desire a career in law enforcement or security, the Navy's Master at Arms program is an excellent start. The Navy outsources their recruits after basic training to be instructed and trained by civilian police officers for approximately nine weeks. This rigorous military police academy trains the entrants on all civilian and military law, weapon handling and shooting, self defense tactics, use of force and simulated police scenario training. Once police academy is successfully completed, the Master at Arms will be shipped off to their respective commands. A typical Naval shore installation will have a Police Department that houses at least thirty patrolmen on three different rotating shifts. Most of the patrolmen are of the Master at Arms rating; however there are a few out of rate personnel that are able to fill a Security billet due to the Navy's specialized 9545 Security training. The 9545 trainees must complete the same law enforcement academy that the Master at Arms have completed. Navy police officers are overall responsible for the safety and security of all on-base personnel, both military and civilian. Police officers conduct routine traffic stops for those that violate the Navy's traffic policy on base. Police officers monitor and rove the base and any other government property in the area. The patrolmen are also responsible for evening colors- which means they must ceremoniously pull the base flag down when the sun sets. The Navy patrolmen must be well versed on all Navy instruction regarding base policy; however they must also be cognizant of the surrounding state and county laws that are still applicable on base. The Navy police officer is held to a higher standard of professionalism and expected to act with integrity at all times.
