Which rating abbreviation corresponds to GSM?

Which rating abbreviation corresponds to GSM?

• A. Gas Turbine Systems Technician Mechanical
• B. Gas Turbine Systems Tech Electrical
• C. Gas Turbine Systems Tech Mechanical
• D. Gas Turbine Engines Mechanic

Answer: (C)

GSM stands for the Gas Turbine Systems Technician path with a Mechanical specialty. In Navy rating naming, the abbreviation is tied to the core role and the specialty, and the version that matches the common shorthand uses a technician designation with a mechanical focus. The phrase that fits this pattern is Gas Turbine Systems Tech Mechanical, which aligns with the GSM shorthand by indicating the technician role and the mechanical specialty within the gas turbine systems field. The other wording options point to either the Electrical specialty (which would be a different abbreviation) or to a different overall rating (for example, something involving Engines Mechanic rather than the Gas Turbine Systems path).
