Aviation Machinist's Mate is the only one of the four that is still in use today, making it the oldest U.S. Naval Aviation Rating still in service. [2] In April, 1948, the rating's abbreviation was changed from AMM to AD, but the insignia has not changed since 1921. [2]
E-1 to E-3 are divided into five general occupational fields (airman, constructionman, fireman, hospitalman, or seaman) based on their rate. For example, an AD (Aviation Machinist's Mate) E-3 would be referred to as an Airman, an E-2 as an Airman Apprentice, and E-1 as an Airman Recruit.
Machinist's Mate (or MM) is a rating in the United States Navy's engineering community. It is non-capitalised as machinist's mate when discussing the generic rating rather than as a proper noun when discussing a specific enlisted seaman (Machinist's Mate Jane Doe, MM John Doe) carrying that rating.
Often Navy enlisted members are addressed by a combination of rating and rate; in this example, this Machinist's Mate Petty Officer First Class may be addressed as Machinist's Mate 1st Class (MM1).

Each rating has an official abbreviation, such as MM for machinist's mate, QM for quartermaster, and YN for yeoman.
