It doesn't take Einstein to see where you are going! When you reach the top (which is a LONG way off) you will be given the option to choose your own custom rank. The custom rank will be created and it is yours, nobody else will have that rank so get your thinking caps on trying to think of the rank YOU want

Wow, if I were to get 150 posts under my belt, I'd be more qualified on this forum than in the Job!

How ironic.

So where does Senior command Course fit into this then? And are you saying that WO2's aren't necessarily bandmasters? Is there a separate ladder for 'A streamers'? And where does the B3, B2 and B1's fit in here?
