^QSIL — View all Bosun sailors from India

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

What ^QSIL19790804 means

^QSIL19790804 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 19790804 encode the holder's date of birth as YYYYMMDD — 04 Aug 1979 — which is what keeps every member of a rank node sorted by age and makes the code unique for one person. The full grammar is explained on the About page at zulucode.org/about.

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 ^QSIL19790804 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.
