Which collar device represents an E-8 in NJROTC?

In the NJROTC (Naval Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps), the collar device for an E-8 enlisted rank is represented by an eagle and one star perched on a fouled anchor. This design signifies the rank of Senior Chief Petty Officer, which is the eighth enlisted rank in the Navy. The eagle symbolizes leadership and authority, while the fouled anchor represents the naval tradition, and the single star denotes a specific level of advancement within that rank.

The combination of these elements clearly differentiates the E-8 rank from other ranks, which would feature different numbers or arrangements of devices. For example, ranks lower than E-8 typically do not include stars, while ranks higher, such as E-9, would show additional stars or different configurations. The design and its components are standardized in NJROTC to clearly communicate rank and authority within the organization.
