That's a good idea. The reality, at least for me, was that after Radio school I was still just a Seaman Second Class, working under a petty officer. I was considered a radioman and nothing else, but I still had to progress through Seaman First to Radioman Third Class, so I wasn't a PO but I was considered "qualified".
