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.
