Rate is a military term that is used when speaking between two Marines or sailors. It’s ship slang when referring to one’s status within the rank structure. Different ranks rate different privileges and customs when interacting with subordinate peers.

Typically this term is used when inferring someone doesn’t have the necessary status to do something.

A boot checks into the new unit, two NCOs walk up smoking and joking. This boot walks up and starts bullshiting like he’s earned his status. One of his NCOs will most likely say “You d-mb b!tch you must think you’re back on the block right? You don’t RATE, why don’t you unf—k yourself and go to parade rest before I use your a—hole as a boot strap”

Boot Pfc : Hey Sergeant, can I get a beer too?

Sergeant: B!tch, you don’t rate. I guess we just think we’re boys right?
