What about the USCG, enlisted, warrant, commissioned? I know they are similar to the Navy, but why not?

[Evocati-Augusti]

The USAF version of A1C is backwards, it was E 4 from 47-54 but in 93 when i was in basic it went from E-2 to E-3 with a blue star and SenAirmen was 2 strips white star all in a month, and it was weird because I was in band flight i got to wear my strips day 1, I was moved to a band flight on their 8th day my 1st day, Then it was moved higher again in the 2000s, and the own USAF page has it wrong, i thought when you graduated basic you got one stripes?but when we all were in our blues and wearing are PT badges we had already passed and are small arms we already passed some guys and girls ..band flights were co ed lol not the dorms but the flight, but i saw 90% of everybody had no strips and 2 had 1..making me the only 1 to have 2...wich would haunt me later when I had to eat at my old dorms chow hall and my old TI 2 strips that only 2 weeks prior saw me in my clothes I showed up in..through hes clipboard at me and berated me for 20 minutes because my dad said when he an youre mom were there they had great tennis courts so he packed me a brand new pair in the box of Price tennis shoes, they could have been golf shoes that how the shoes looked, like only for tennis players, nobody would wear them as sneakers, and my grandparents were Army Air crops R&D my mom went to OTS after basic not before she married my dad who was also USAF R&D sent to Clark AFB because it was 1967 and at the time i was recruited she was DOD R&D and my dad to and we moed near the top secret Grumman base in Calverton, thats one of the reason i was able to get 10 grand and 2 strips..but the USAF ranks made so many changes that they dont even list, even though I have pictures and records showing the change the day.
