[154] Coast Guard: Ensign (ENS) Business Card

Introducing project “Military Insignia 3D”, featuring top quality military heraldry designs. Here you will find customizable business/name cards decorated with rank insignia of a Coast Guard Ensign (ENS). Ensign is a junior rank of a commissioned officer in the Coast Guard. Ensign ranks below lieutenant junior grade, and it is equivalent to a second lieutenant in the other branches of service. Depending upon the warfare community, an ensign may go directly to a warship after being commissioned to serve as a division officer, or he or she may serve up one to two years of specialty training before reporting to a combat unit (e.g. flight school, weapons systems school, navigator school, submarine school, amphibious warfare school, radar school). Ensigns who become division officers are responsible for leading a group of petty officers and enlisted men in one of the ship's divisions (for example, engineering, navigation, communications, sensors or weapons) while at the same time receiving on-the-job training in leadership, naval systems, programs, and policies from higher-ranking officers and from enlisted men and women. Coast Guard ensigns wear collar insignia of a single gold bar and because of this share the nickname "butterbars" with second lieutenants of the other branches, who wear the same insignia.
