The Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) system supplements the enlisted rating structure in identifying personnel on active or inactive duty and billets in manpower authorizations.

Navy Ratings

Rating in the naval corresponds to the broad job field that a sailor works in. In this case, Electronics Technicians have a rating of ET. The rating is followed by a sequence of numbers that designate their specialty within the broader field. The rating and the number make up the sailor's NEC code.

NEC codes identify a non-rating wide skill, knowledge, aptitude, or qualification that must be documented to identify people and billets for management purposes.

For example, if a Navy police officer (MA – Master at Arms) receives specialized training as a K-9 Dog Handler, they would be awarded NEC MA-2005. From that point on, the sailor could be assigned to Navy law enforcement duties involving military working dogs.

The following are all of the NECs for the Electronics Technicians field.
