Special Agent Basic Training (SABT) Exam 1 – Criminal Investigations Practice Test

Which insignia represents O-5 in USN mid-grade officers?

Lieutenant Commander (gold leaf) Commander (silver leaf) Captain (eagle) Lieutenant (two silver bars)

Correct Answer:

Commander (silver leaf)

Explanation:

Recognize how Navy officer ranks are shown by insignia. The pay grade O-5 corresponds to the rank of Commander, whose insignia is a silver oak leaf. That silver oak leaf distinguishes it from nearby grades: a gold oak leaf marks Lieutenant Commander (O-4), a silver eagle marks Captain (O-6), and two silver bars mark Lieutenant (O-3). So the insignia described as a silver oak leaf is the correct representation for O-5.
