In the USPS, a member’s rank reflects the highest office in which they have served during their membership. If they are no longer in that office, the word “Past” is appended to the rank; e.g., a “Past Commander” has at some prior time served as a squadron commander. Titles are normally abbreviated and used in all written communications. The most common abbreviations are: Squadron Cdr Commander Lt/C Lieutenant Commander 1st/Lt First Lieutenant Flag/Lt Flag Lieutenant Lt Lieutenant P/C Past Commander P/Lt/C Past Lieutenant Commander District D/C District Commander D/Lt/C District Lieutenant Commander P/D/C Past District Commander P/D/Lt/C Past District Lieutenant Commander National C/C Chief Commander V/C Vice-Commander R/C Rear Commander Stf/C Staff Commander P/C/C Past Chief Commander P/V/C Past Vice Commander P/R/C Past Rear Commander P/Stf/C Past Staff Commander 2 COURSE ABBREVIATIONS Boating education is a primary objective of the USPS. We offer thirteen courses, classified into two groups: Advanced Grades and Electives. Advanced Grades Advanced Grade courses teach seamanship and navigation skills. The courses are designed to be taken sequentially. The abbreviation of the highest Advanced Grade completed is often appended to a member’s name; e.g. Lt/C John Doe, AP.: S Seamanship P Piloting AP Advanced Piloting JN Junior Navigation N Navigator Electives Elective courses address specific topics and may be taken in any order. The Elective course abbreviations are as follows: CP Cruise Planning EM Engine Maintenance ME Marine Electronics MC Marine Communications WX Weather IQ/ID Instructor Qualification/Development SA Sail OT Operations Training Senior Navigator A member who has successfully completed all thirteen Advanced Grade and Elective courses is designated a “Senior Navigator” and is said to hold a “Full Certificate.” SN Senior Navigator Boat Operator’s Certification (BOC) Boat Operator’s Certification is a separate training program within USPS wherein members and the general public are trained on-the-water in various aspects of boat handling and navigation.
