In my usage "ratings" includes petty officers (but not warrant officers or commissioned officers).

EDIT: If I were them, I'd rather have the cabins by watch, that way everybody in the same cabin is sleeping at the same time. It's not like petty officers are staff NCOs.

Good idea. The buffer and the three coxswains in one bunkroom, then three watch bunkrooms, each with the PO, leading astronaut, ordinary astronaut, and shuttle flight engineer who will be on watch at the same time.
