Cpl is the first NCO Rank as per QR&O Vol 1 Chap 1.02 http://www.admfincs.forces.gc.ca/qr_o/vol1/ch001_e.asp#1.02razorguns said:My bad. Corporal i believe is first 'semi' NCO rank. But it's also E-4 so it's kinda confusing. But E-5 is definately NCO.

"non-commissioned officer" means a member holding the rank of sergeant or corporal; (sous-officier)
Quag said:Not that it matters, but just curious Wes what AWOCS means? I know that it would be the equivalent to CFR or UTPNCM etc..., I'm just curious as to the terminology the Australian Army uses. ( I lead a boring life ;D)

Wesley Down Under said:Left the CF in Jan 95 as a Sergeant with WO qualifications awaiting promotion.
Entered the Army here in March 1995 as a Temporary Sergeant, got my promotion courses within 12 months and kept my rank, so still a Sergeant in the Australian Army, and comfortable with that. My recent 5yr plan was go get my WO2 crown, then AWOCS myself to Captain, then discharge. That was my plan, now I am happy to coast until CRA as a Sergeant.
Cheers,
Wes
Huh? nope.stealthylizard said:I guess you learn something new every once in awhile. I had always though that a person was an NCM until they achieve the rank of WO, which then makes them an NCO.
