 ====== Master Chief Petty Officer (MCPO) ======
-Master chief petty officer (MCPO) is an enlisted naval rate, a type of military rank used by the service organizations of  different cultures. As a traditional naval grade, MCPO is the most senior grade of chief petty officer, and is almost the highest non-commissioned officer grade in organizations like Starfleet and the US Navy. In comparison to infantry ranking systems, this rate is approximately equivalent to the most senior sergeant grade, such as Sergeant-Major. Personnel of this grade can be addressed simply as chief (or more properly, "master chief"), and sometimes by their job title, such as "master chief specialist."
+The highest ranking in the enlisted branch, the Master Chief has served with distinction for many years. A handful of master chiefs serve within Starfleet, all acknowledged leaders in their fields and commanding the respect of those beneath them. Such NCOs oversee important departments and can enjoy treatment almost like that of a distinguished officer.
 While nominally subordinate to all commissioned officers, master chiefs wield far more influence and authority than most junior officers and act as mentors and advisors to senior officers. Master chiefs have decades of practical experience and are an indispensable source of technical skill and leadership on Starfleet vessels.

 ====== Senior Chief Petty Officer (SCPO) ======
 ====== Chief Petty Officer (CPO) ======
-Chief petty officer is the highest enlisted rating in Starfleet. The chief petty officer, invariably referred to as chief, is a senior non-commissioned officer and is often in control of an entire section of petty officers and unrated enlisted personnel.
+The Chief Petty Officer oversees large groups of petty officers and departments underneath him. These NCOs have typically served within Starfleet for some time and are quite skilled. When one becomes "chief" he garners a measure of respect for his accomplishments and proficiency. Chief petty officers are sought out for their specialized knowledge.
 A chief or senior chief is addressed as Chief (with surname, as in Chief O'Brien in the first instance, and as plain Chief thereafter). A master chief is addressed as Master Chief.

 ====== Petty Officer First Class (PO1) ======
 Petty officer first class is the sixth enlisted rank in Starfleet, just above petty officer second class and below chief petty officer, and is a non-commissioned officer.
 ====== Petty Officer Second Class (PO2) ======
@@ Line 430: / Line 431: @@
 Petty officer third class is the fourth enlisted rank in Starfleet, just above crewman and below petty officer second class, and is the lowest form of non-commissioned officer, equivalent to a corporal in the Marines or senior airman in the Starfighter Corps.
-====== Crewman (CN) ======
+====== Crewman First Class (CN1) ======
-Crewman (also known as crewman first class) is the third-lowest enlisted rank in Starfleet, ranking above a crewman apprentice and below a petty officer third class. Crewman is the highest Starfleet enlisted rank not to be considered a non-commissioned officer.
+Similar to Crewman Second Class, these crewmen are given slightly more responsibility and are more knowledgeable in their fields. Crewmen do not oversee any other enlisted personnel and report to petty officers above them.
-====== Crewman Apprentice (CA) ======
+====== Crewman Second Class (CN2) ======
-Crewman apprentice (also known as crewman second class) is the second-lowest Starfleet enlisted rank, ranking above crewman recruit and below crewman.
+The lowest rank of the enlisted personnel, the crewman can also be referred to as "Specialist." Upon graduating Starfleet Academy all enlisted personnel hold this rank. The crewman is overseen by petty officers and has limited duties, usually seeing to a specific system or area of function.
 ====== Crewman Recruit (CR) ======
-Crewman recruit (also known as crewman third class) is the lowest Starfleet enlisted rank, ranking below crewman apprentice. In Starfleet, this rank is awarded upon completion of a training course, where recruits are given basic instruction in manning a starship or filling another role in the fleet.
+Recruits are only found withing Starfleet Academy while personnel undergo training. Upon completion of the year-long training program, they receive an automatic promotion to the rank of Crewman Second Class, and in some cases can quickly distinguish themselves and attain the rank of Crewman First Class straight out of the Academy.
