HistoryMaster

Lieutenant (junior grade), commonly abbreviated asLTJG or, historically,Lt. (j.g.) (as well as variants of both abbreviations), is ajunior commissioned officer rank of theUnited States Navy, theUnited States Coast Guard, theUnited States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, and theNational Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps (NOAA Corps). LTJG has aUS military pay grade of O-2,[1][2] and aNATO rank code of OF-1. The rank is also used in theUnited States Maritime Service. The NOAA Corps's predecessors, theUnited States Coast and Geodetic Survey Corps (1917–1965) and theEnvironmental Science Services Administration Corps or ESSA Corps (1965–1970), also used the rank.

Lieutenant (junior grade) ranks aboveensign and belowlieutenant and is equivalent to afirst lieutenant in the otheruniformed services (theArmy,Marine Corps,Air Force, andSpace Force) andsub-lieutenant in theRoyal Navy and the navies of manyCommonwealth countries.

Promotion to LTJG is governed by Department of Defense policies derived from theDefense Officer Personnel Management Act (DOPMA) of 1980. DOPMA guidelines suggest all "fully qualified"ensigns should be promoted to LTJG. The time for promotion to LTJG is a minimum of two years after commissioning in the Navy or 18 months in the Coast Guard. Lieutenants, junior grade typically leadpetty officers andnon-rated personnel, unless assigned to small aircraft or onstaff duty. A LTJG's usual shipboard billet is as adivision officer.

Lieutenant, junior grade is often referred to colloquially as JG. Prior to March 3, 1883, this rank was known in the U.S. Navy asmaster.[3]
