JUNIOR ENLISTED MARINES (E-1 trough E-3)   NIŽI ČINOVI

      Marinci u platnim razredima od E-1 do E-3 obično su ili u nekoj vrsti obuke ili na početnom karijere. Obuka uključuje osnovnu fazu osposobljavanja u kojoj se regruti obučavaju u vojnoj kulturi i vrijednostima te se podučavaju osnovnim vještinama koje zahtijeva njihova služba.

      Nakon osnovne obuke slijedi faza specijalizirane ili napredne obuke koja regrutima daje određeno područje stručnosti. U kopnenoj vojsci i marincima ovo područje naziva se vojno-profesionalna specijalnost; u mornarici je poznat kao stupanj; a u ratnom zrakoplovstvu jednostavno se zove specijalnost zrakoplovstva.

      Service members in paygrades E-1 through E-3 are usually either in some kind of training status or on their initial assignment. The training includes the basic training phase where recruits are immersed in military culture and values and are taught the core skills required by their service component.

      Basic training is followed by a specialized or advanced training phase that provides recruits with a specific area of expertise or concentration. In the Army and Marine Corps, this area is called a military occupational specialty; in the Navy it is known as a rate; and in the Air Force it is simply called an Air Force specialty.

PRIVATE (E-1)  VOJNIK

      Po završetku osnovne obuke, mladi marinci stječu čin vojnika (E-1). Većina novih marinaca ima ovaj čin šest mjeseci prije nego što budu promaknuti u vojnika prve klase. Redovne odgovornosti su slijediti zapovijedi i naučiti kako dati doprinos marincima. Jednostavno rečeno, oni trebaju činiti ono što im se kaže, kada im se kaže i kako im se kaže.

      Napredovanje u činovima marinaca: Zapovjednici četa (satnija) imaju ovlasti promicati aktivne vojnike (E-1) u čin PFC-a (E-2) nakon što navrše šest mjeseci službe. Ova je promocija praktički automatska za one koji zadovoljavaju osnovne kriterije promocije.

      Upon graduating from basic training, young Marines earn the rank of private (E-1). Most enlisted Marines hold this rank for six months before they are promoted to private first class. The private's responsibilities are to follow orders and learn how to be contributing members of the Marine Corps. Simply put, they are to do what they are told, when they are told and how they are told.

      Moving up the Marine Corps Ranks: Company commanders have the authority to promote active-duty enlisted privates (E-1) to the rank of PFC (E-2) once they have completed six months of service. This promotion is virtually automatic for those who meet the basic promotion criteria.

PRIVATE FIRST CLASS (E-2)  VOJNIK PRVE KLASE

      Vojnik prve klase (Private First Class PFC) je drugi po redu čin u marincima. Čin PFC-a ustanovljen je 1917. Kada je uveden sličan čin koji je dodan strukturi kopnene vojske. Vojnik prve klase je prva promocija prema postajanju sastavnim dijelom marinaca. PFC-i su okosnica marinaca. Posao PFC-a je primijeniti svoje nove tehničke vještine dok nastavljaju učiti i razvijati nove vještine.

      Napredovanje u činovima marinaca: poput promaknuća za proces u PFC, zapovjednici marinaca imaju ovlasti promicati aktivne marince u čin kaplara (desetnika) (E-3) kada navrše devet mjeseci u službi (TIS) i osam mjeseci u razredu (TIG). Kao i postizanje PFC-a, ova je promocija praktički automatska za one koji zadovoljavaju osnovne kriterije promocije.

      Private first class is the second enlisted rank in the Marine Corps. The rank of PFC was established in 1917 to mirror a similar rank added to the Army structure. Private first class is the first promotion toward becoming an integral part of the Marine Corps. PFCs are the backbone of the Marines. The PFC's job is to apply their new technical skills while continuing to learn and develop new skills.

      Moving up the Marine Corps Ranks: Like the promotion to process to PFC, Marine Corps company commanders have the authority to promote active-duty enlisted Marines to the rank of lance corporal (E-3) when they have completed nine months ' time in service (TIS) and eight months' time in grade (TIG). Like achieving PFC, this promotion is virtually automatic for those who meet the basic promotion criteria.

LANCE CORPORAL (E-3)  RAZVODNIK

      Kaplar je treći po redu čin (E-3) u marincima. Čin nižeg kaplara trajno je uspostavljen 1958., ali taj izraz potječe iz ranih 1800-ih. Čin nižeg kaplara (LCpl) prvi su koristili marinci u Indijskim ratovima 1830-ih. Kaplar je sljedeći korak u marinskom korpusu. Očekuje se da će kaplari nastaviti primjenjivati ​​svoju tehničku obuku, uz učenje i razvoj vještina vođenja.

      Napredovanje u činovima: Za razliku od činova PFC i LCpl, da biste bili dostojni podoficirske titule (dočasničke), morate pokazati da ste sposobni podnijeti zahtjeve sljedećeg višeg stupnja ispunjavanjem osnovnih uvjeta u Marincima, Composite Score, koje je namijenjeno promicanju najbolje kvalificiranih kandidata. Dok je vojska 1960-ih godina privremeno imala kaplare, Korpus marinaca je trenutno jedina grana oružanih snaga koja održava ovaj čin.

      Lance Corporal is the third enlisted rank (E-3) in the Marine Corps. The rank of lance corporal was established permanently in 1958, but the term dates back to the early 1800s. The rank of lance corporal (LCpl) was first used by the Marines in the Indian Wars of the 1830s. Lance corporal is your next step in becoming an integral part of the Marine Corps. Lance corporals are expected to continue to apply thier technical training, in addition to learning and developing leadership skills.

      Moving up the Ranks: Unlike the ranks of PFC and LCpl, to be worthy of the title "non-commissioned officer," you must demonstrate that you are capable of handling the demands of the next higher grade by meeting basic eligibility requirements and competing in a Marine Corps-wide, Composite Score competition, which is intended to promote the best qualified candidates.While the Army temporarily had Lance Corporals in the 1960s, the Marine Corps is currently the only branch of the armed forces that maintains this rank.

NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS (NCO) (E-4 and E-5)   PODOFICIRI

      Podoficiri u Marinskom korpusu sa činovima kaplara i narednika imaju posebnu poziciju u korpusu. Odgovorni za živote svojih ljudi u borbenim situacijama ili izvan njih. Ovi marinci su vođe ljudi i mnogo više. Predstavljaju nepokolebljive tradicije dužnosti i predanosti dodijeljenoj im misiji.

CORPORAL (E-4)  KAPLAR

      Kaplar (E-4) je najmlađi od dočasničkih dočasničkih činova. Međutim, to ne umanjuje ovlasti ili odgovornosti koje čin nosi. Od desetnika se zahtijeva da imaju sve veći stupanj zrelosti, vodstva i profesionalizma. U velikoj mjeri, ostvarenje krajnje misije: uspjeh u borbi,  ovisi o razvitku kaplara kao vođe male jedinice i njegovim ili njezinih profesionalnih sposobnosti.

      Napredovanje u činovima marinaca: kaplari (desetnici) pokazuju da su vrijedni biti "dočasnici". Kako bi napredovali do narednika, moraju dokazati da su sposobni ispuniti povećane zahtjeve slijedećeg višeg stupnja ispunjavanjem osnovnih uvjeta podobnosti za sastav Marine Corps, Composite Score, namijenjenom promaknuću samo najbolje kvalificiranih kandidata.

1946 - 1959

      Corporal (E-4) is the most junior of the non-commissioned officer NCO ranks. However, that does not lessen the authority or responsibility the rank carries. Corporals are required to exercise an ever-increasing degree of maturity, leadership and professionalism. To a large extent, accomplishment of the ultimate mission -- success in battle -- depends on the corporal's development as a small unit leader and his or her professional abilities.

      Moving up the Marine Corps Ranks: Corporals demonstrate that they are worthy of being "NCOs." To move up to sergeant, they must prove that they are capable of meeting the increased demands of the next higher grade by meeting basic eligibility requirements and competing in a Marine Corps-wide, Composite Score competition, intended to promote only the best qualified candidates.

SERGEANT (E-5)  NAREDNIK

       Čin narednika marinaca (E-5) po dužnostima i odgovornostima blisko je sličan činu kaplara. Zapravo, osnovne dužnosti i odgovornosti svih podoficirskih činova nikada se ne mijenjaju. Glavna razlika između narednika i kaplara je u tome što je narednik u svakodnevnom kontaktu s većim brojem marinaca i općenito ima više opreme i druge imovine za održavanje.

      Od narednika marinaca zahtijeva se da imaju sve veći stupanj zrelosti, vodstva i profesionalizma. U velikoj mjeri, ostvarenje krajnje misije - uspjeh u borbi - ovisi o vodstvu i profesionalnim sposobnostima narednika.

      Pomicanje u činovima: Proces promocije se pooštrava kako marinci napreduju u činovima. Za razliku od procesa napredovanja kaplara (Cpl) i narednika (Sgt), proces napredovanja štabnih podoficira (E6-E9) uključuje centralizirani izborni odbor. Odbor dovršava temeljitu reviziju evidencije svakog kandidata kako bi osigurao samo najbolji i najpametniji prelazak do dočasnika osoblja.

      The Marine Corps rank of sergeant (E-5) closely parallels that of the corporal in duties and responsibilities. In fact, the basic duties and responsibilities of all the non-commissioned officer (NCO) ranks never change. The major difference between the sergeant and the corporal is that the sergeant is in daily contact with larger numbers of Marines and generally has more equipment and other property to maintain.

      Marine Corps sergeants are required to exercise an ever-increasing degree of maturity, leadership and professionalism. To a large extent, accomplishment of the ultimate mission - success in battle - depends on the sergeants' leadership and professional abilities.

      Moving up the Ranks: The promotion process tightens up as Marines move up the enlisted ranks. Unlike the corporal (Cpl) and sergeant (Sgt) promotion process, the staff NCO (E6-E9) promotion process includes a centralized selection board. The board completes a thorough review of each applicants record to ensure only the best and brightest move up to staff NCO.

STAFF NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS (NCO) (E-6 TO E-9)   ŠTABNI PODOFICIRI

      Štabni podoficiri (stožerni dočasnici) marinaca su oni marinci koji služe u razredima od E-6 do i uključujući E-9. Činovi uključuju štabnog narednika (E-6), artiljerijskog narednika (E-7), glavnog narednika/prvog narednika (E-8) i glavnog narednika/prvog narednika (E-9). SNCO marinaca imaju položaj s posebnim odgovornostima i zaslužuju veću razinu poštovanja.

      The Marine Corps Staff NCOs are those career Marines serving in grades E-6 through and including E-9. The ranks include staff sergeant (E-6), gunnery sergeant (E-7), master sergeant/first sergeant (E-8) and master gunnery sergeant/sergeant major (E-9). Marine SNCOs hold a position with special responsibilities, and they are due a greater level of respect.

STAFF SERGEANT  ŠTABNI NAREDNIK

      The rank of staff sergeant (SSgt) is the entry point to the Staff NCO ranks. There are significant differences as you step up from the NCO to the staff NCO levels. The major difference between the staff sergeant and the sergeant is in the scope of responsibility. The staff sergeant has a greater level of responsibility and accountability. Understanding these differences is vital. As a staff sergeant, you will be expected to use your greater experience to lead Marines and lesser-ranked sergeants.

      The staff sergeant normally will have one or more sergeants who work under their direct leadership. SSgt's are responsible for the continued successful development of their sergeants as well as all Marines in their section, squad or team. The complexities of the staff sergeant job increase as their responsibilities broaden. The staff sergeant's professional competence is measured by how well they develop, maintain and use the full range of human potential of their subordinate Marines.

GUNNERY SERGEANT  ARTILJERIJSKI NAREDNIK

      Čin artiljerijskog narednika smatra se okosnicom činova štabnih podoficira u marincima (SNCO). Od artiljerijskih narednika marinaca očekuje se da prenesu svoje dugogodišnje iskustvo u brze i ispravne odluke koje su u najboljem interesu misije i njihovih marinaca. GySgt svojim podređenima daje primjer vodstva i profesionalizma.

      Konkretno, „Gunnies“ su zaduženi osigurati da njihovi podređeni SNCO i podoficiri budu opremljeni, motivirani i obučeni. Napredovanje u činovima: Gunnies koji ispunjavaju uvjete moraju naznačiti u svojim "izvještajima o fitnesu" žele li biti uzeti u obzir za promaknuće u glavnog narednika ili prvog narednika.

      The rank of gunnery sergeant is considered the backbone of the Marine Corps Staff NCO (SNCO) ranks. Marine Corps gunnery sergeants are expected to bring their years of experience to bear in quick, accurate decisions that are in the best interest of the mission and their Marines. GySgt's set the example of leadership and professionalism for their subordinates.

      Specifically, Gunnies are charged with ensuring their subordinate SNCO and NCO's are equipped, motivated and trained. Moving up the Ranks: Eligible Gunnies must indicate on their "fitness reports" whether they wish to be considered for promotion to master sergeant or first sergeant.

MASTER SERGEANT  GLAVNI NAREDNIK

      Glavni narednik je tehnički stručnjak u svom području. Primarni preduvjet MSgt-a je izvanredno znanje dodijeljenog MOS-a, u kombinaciji s iznimno visokim stupnjem sposobnosti vođenja i nadzora te sposobnošću samostalnog djelovanja kao pomoćnik komandira u svim administrativnim, tehničkim i taktičkim zahtjevima njihove stručne specijalnosti. Napredovanje u činovima: Prvi narednik ima pravo biti unaprijeđen u starijeg narednika dok bi glavni narednik bio na promotivnom putu za glavnog artiljerijskog narednika.

      The master sergeant is the technical expert in their field. The MSgt's primary prerequisite is an outstanding proficiency in the assigned MOS, combined with an exceptionally high degree of leadership and supervisory ability and the ability to act independently as an enlisted assistant to the commander in all administrative, technical and tactical requirements of their occupational specialty. Moving up the Ranks: A first sergeant is eligible to be promoted to a sergeant major while a master sergeant would be on the promotional track for master gunnery sergeant.

FIRST SERGEANT  PRVI NAREDNIK

      Prvi narednik je glavni vojni savjetnik komandira jedinice. Primarni i najvažniji preduvjet 1.sgt-a je izvanredno vodstvo, u kombinaciji s iznimno visokim stupnjem profesionalne kompetencije i sposobnošću da samostalno djeluje kao glavni pomoćnik zapovjednika u svim administrativnim, tehničkim i taktičkim zahtjevima organizacije. Pomicanje u činovima: Prvi narednik ima pravo biti unaprijeđen u starijeg narednika dok bi glavni narednik bio na promotivnom putu za glavnog topničkog narednika.

      The first sergeant is the principal enlisted adviser to the unit commander. The 1stSgt's primary and foremost requisite is outstanding leadership, combined with an exceptionally high degree of professional competence and the ability to act independently as the principal enlisted assistant to the commander in all administrative, technical and tactical requirements of the organization. Moving up the Ranks: A first sergeant is eligible to be promoted to a sergeant major while a master sergeant would be on the promotional track for master gunnery sergeant.

MASTER GUNNERY SERGEANT  GLAVNI ARTILJERIJSKI NAREDNIK

      Čin glavnog artiljerijskog narednika stalno se koristio od ere Španjolsko-američkog rata. Kao i mnogi drugi činovi marinaca, glavni topnički narednik trajno je uspostavljen kasnih 1950-ih. MGySgt je tehnički stručnjak za njihov MOS. Primarni preduvjet „glavnog“ je izvrsno poznavanje dodijeljenog MOS-a, u kombinaciji s iznimno visokim stupnjem sposobnosti vođenja i nadzora te sposobnošću samostalnog djelovanja kao pomoćnika zapovjednika u svim administrativnim, tehničkim i taktičkim zahtjevima njegove stručne specijalnosti.

      The rank of master gunnery sergeant has been in use off and on since the Spanish-American War era. Like many other Marine Corps ranks, master gunnery sergeant was established permanently in the late 1950s. The MGySgt is the technical expert in their MOS. The master gunny's primary prerequisite is an outstanding proficiency in the assigned MOS, combined with an exceptionally high degree of leadership and supervisory ability and the ability to act independently as an enlisted assistant to the commander in all administrative, technical and tactical requirements of your occupational specialty.

SERGEANT MAJOR  VIŠI NAREDNIK

      Američki marinski korpus prvi je put upotrijebio titulu starijeg narednika 1801. godine. Prvo je to bio čin koji je imala samo jedna osoba, poput sadašnjeg glavnog narednika marinaca. Do kasnih 1800-ih postojalo je pet narednika. Čin je eliminiran 1946. i vraćen 1954. godine.

      Stariji narednici su glavni savjetnici zapovjednicima marinaca. Poput prvog narednika, njihov primarni i najvažniji preduvjet je izvanredno vodstvo, u kombinaciji s iznimno visokim stupnjem profesionalne kompetencije i sposobnošću da samostalno djeluju kao glavni upisani pomoćnik zapovjednika u svim administrativnim, tehničkim i taktičkim zahtjevima organizacije.

      The U.S. Marine Corps first used the title sergeant major in 1801. It was originally a rank held by only one person, like the current sergeant major of the Marine Corps. By the late 1800s, there were five sergeants major. The rank was eliminated in 1946 and brought back in 1954.

      The sergeant major is the principal enlisted adviser to Marine commanders. Like the 1st Sgt, their primary and foremost requisite is outstanding leadership, combined with an exceptionally high degree of professional competence and the ability to act independently as the principal enlisted assistant to the commander in all administrative, technical and tactical requirements of the organization.

SERGEANT MAJOR of the MARINE CORPS  VIŠI NAREDNIK MARINSKOG KORPUSA

      Mjesto glavnog narednika marinaca osnovano je 1957. godine kao viši savjetnik zapovjednika marinaca. Izvorno stvoren kao narednik u kasnim 1800-ima, današnji čin SgtMajMC ima značajan položaj autoriteta i poštovanja. Narednik marinaca djeluje kao zapovjednikove oči i uši kada su u pitanju vojnički poslovi i druga pitanja vodstva. Narednika marinaca bira zapovjednik marinaca i s njima obično služi četverogodišnji mandat.

      The post of sergeant major of the Marine Corps was established in 1957 as the senior enlisted adviser to the commandant of the Marine Corps. Originally created as the sergeant major in the late 1800s, today's rank of SgtMajMC holds a significant position of authority and respect. The sergeant major of the Marine Corps acts as the commandant's eyes and ears when it comes to enlisted affairs and other leadership matters. The sergeant major of the Marine Corps is selected by the commandant of the Marine Corps and normally serves a four-year term with them.
