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.
