History of The Rating
The Electronics Technician rating was originally established as Radio Technician in 1942 during the height of World War II. The rating badge adopted was that of the established Radioman rating, and remained until 1945, when the rating name was changed to Electronic Technician's Mate. In 1948, the Navy changed the name of the rating to Electronics Technician, and a new rating badge was created, both of which are still in use today.

“Social history might be defined negatively as the history of a people with the politics left out.”
—G.M. (George Macaulay)
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
