Enlisted Ratings in Starfleet
From E-1 to E-3, there are actually
four subsets of the standard Crewman ranks, depending on the career path
chosen. The insignia remains the same, although the color of the
uniform will identify the crewman’s rank title, except in the case of airmen
and crewmen, who wear the same (red) division color, and firemen and constructionmen,
who wear the same (gold) uniform color. In these cases context generally
makes the rating clear.
