^QSRD — View all Third Officer sailors from Russia

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

What ^QSRD20020509 means

^QSRD20020509 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, R, is the country: Russia. The fourth letter, D, is the rank: Third Officer. So ^QSRD is the node for every Third Officer from Russia, and this page is one member of it.

The trailing digits 20020509 encode the holder's date of birth as YYYYMMDD — 09 May 2002 — 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 Third Officer rank

The Third Officer keeps a bridge watch and is typically responsible for life-saving and fire-fighting appliances, safety equipment records and port documentation. It is the entry officer rank on the deck side, held on an STCW II/1 certificate.

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.

This is currently the only Third Officer code registered from Russia on Zulu Code.

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 ^QSRD20020509 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.
