Additionally, at least in the Air Wing of the Navy, qualification for the job being performed matters. I, as an E-3 Plane Captain Airman, (PFC army, Lance Corporal, Marine Corps, no one cares about the Air Farce lol) trained and was in charge of E-4’s, (Army and Marine Corps Corporals, still don’t care about the Air Farce) NCO’s, Petty officers 3rd class on 2 separate occasions, while training for Plane Captain’s qualifications. However on working parties, barracks clean up, ship movement (loading the squadron equipment to load aboard the ship) the NCO was in charge due to rank. So it can be a little convoluted.
