    190115-N-IY469-013 – RP2 Kristina Guajardo explains how the rating was established, initially as a personnelman rating, then as the yeoman rating, before becoming a permanent rate. “In April 1948, the Navy established the personnelman rating," Guajardo said. "Including in the job classification was a chaplain's assistant. Finally, 101 years later, the quest to establish a permanent chaplain's assistant rating was fulfilled. January 15, 1979, the RP rating was born.”
