army and air rank questions

[MCpl ???????]

hi i was just wondering if since aircadets have 1 less rank than Army Cadets, is Master Corporal the same as Sargeant i mean do they have the same authority?

 

[QOR-Sargent]

No, you would be a corporal. I don't like it at all though. I had 1 air sargeant and 1 flight sargeant come to my corps this year. I thought that they would be a Mcpl and a Sgt but they gave them Sgt and Warrant. I haited it because the one air sargeant knew nothing he knew as much as our Mcpl's in my corps. It was silly!!!!

But the CATOS say no matter what, you get to keep your rank. It's stupid, i know.

If he knew nothing then your Jr NCOs must be pretty stupid....also please refrain from bashing because of element.

 

[MCpl ???????]

that is pretty anoying, that means we have to work harder than the air cadets

 

[Burrows]

Really? How so? With more ranks you would figure it would be easier would you not?

MCpl is an appointment (though all cadet ranks are appointments ) as a sr Cpl.
on the Sea Side - QPO1 doesn't have an equivalency either - I can't remember the distinction - Its akin to an appointment but more so in terms of position *I think.

a relative equivalency chart
*not official- but seems to jive ok in terms of training etc

I though they took out the QPO1 a long time ago?

No, they took out QPO2(or so I heard).

Aye, Cheeky_Monkey, they did remove QPO2.

There is still a QPO1 rank

Our Corps has a former Air Cadet Cpl. who moved from A.L.T.A  to B.C. and transfered to Army Cadets, Because he was a Cpl. and was one for quite a along time, he got promoted right away to Mcpl.

What's the highest rank in army cadets

 

[Burrows]

Chief Warrant Officer

Aye, Cheeky_Monkey, they did remove QPO2.

I do know that much. But what was the insignia for QPO2?

 

[catalyst]

3 chevrons one anchor.

Like leading cadet, but with one more chevron.

 

[tabernac]

3 chevrons one anchor.

Like leading cadet, but with one more chevron.

But then that would be a PO2? After some thinking, QPO2 would probabily be the current PO2 insignia without the anchors.

 

[catalyst]

No. PO2 has two crossed anchors and three chevrons.

the QPo2 insigna has one anchor and three chevrons.

 

[tabernac]

No. PO2 has two crossed anchors and three chevrons.

Thats what I said...

QPO2 would probabily be the current PO2 insignia without the anchors.

Any way, thanks for answering my question.

What does the Q in QPO2 stand for? I'm sorry, but I'm trying to further my knowlege of the other two Elements.

 

[Burrows]

there is no longer a QPO2 but there is a QPO1 ... Qualified Petty Officer 1st Class...I think its like our sgt.
