Subject: PBOR?????????????
In the Navy the terms used were sailor and senior sailor. The latter reffered to Petty Officers and above. They mustered seperately and till 1970 wore uniforms different from the junior sailor and the term PO was even mentioned in the Navy Act When parity with Army JCOs in pay etc was sought two additional ranks above CPO were created namely MCPO II & MCPOI.
In the IAF parity was achieved by re naming the Flt Sergeant as JWO and the MWO above the WO.
The term inthe Army was traditionally other ranks. Even the NCO was a non commissioned officer. the term PBOR meant initially Personnel below Officer Rank. Since JCO was an officer he was out of the purview of the definition.
Gradually the term PBOR tended to include all except the commissioned officer.
Reccommend we revert to the original ie
· ARMY JCOs, NCOs and other ranks
· NAVY Senior Sailors, Petty Officers and junior sailors
· Air force Warrant Officers, NCOs and airmen
The above was rec in late nineties but nothing happened
