^QSIL — View all Bosun sailors from India

Part of the ^QS Sailors registry — the Zulu Code maritime human-capital index.

What ^QSIL18210930 means

^QSIL18210930 is a Zulu Code person identifier, read one letter at a time. The leading ^Q places it in the Human Capital & Services system, and QS is the Sailors registry inside it: every seafarer and shore professional on Zulu Code sits under ^QS.

The third letter, I, is the country: India. The fourth letter, L, is the rank: Bosun. So ^QSIL is the node for every Bosun from India, and this page is one member of it.

The trailing digits 18210930 are a placeholder. Zulu Code normally encodes the holder's date of birth as YYYYMMDD so that members of a node sort by age, but this account was issued before a date of birth was recorded. When the holder adds one, the code is re-issued with the real digits.

About the Bosun rank

The Bosun (Boatswain) is the senior deck rating, supervising the deck crew in mooring, anchoring, cargo securing, rigging and deck maintenance under the Chief Officer.

Sea-going ranks occupy the letters A to T of the ^QS registry; shore ranks such as Technical Superintendent and Purchase Manager sit at U to Z, so a career that moves from ship to office stays inside the same registry.

4 people hold a Bosun code from India on Zulu Code. The parent node ^QSIL lists all of them.

How verification works

A Zulu Code is a verifiable credential, not a public profile. Without the holder's 4-digit PIN this page shows only what the code itself encodes: registry, country, rank and the encoded date. With the PIN, the same page unlocks the holder's name, contact details, ZULU-verified rating and the ZULUCODE standard resume.

That is why ^QSIL18210930 is safe to print on a CV or a business card: a recruiter who has been given the PIN sees a verified record, and anyone else sees a code. The PIN can be changed by the holder at any time, which revokes every earlier link.
