PTE.

OCT is not considered an actual rank

ditzy SG

PTE is a rank, trainee is a trainee. Laughing

OCT = Official Crocodile Trainee?

monoslayer SG

but the OCTs oso pass out as a PTE 1st b4 they posted to OCS mah…

thoreldan SG

OOT abit,

let say a 3SG go OCS for conversion, his rank (3SG) will be striped off right?

ditzy SG

As long as you're on course to attain a higher rank, you're a trainee under training, rank is invisible. Laughing

Gordonator SG

yes.

Icemoon SG

I think as long someone is your instructor, your rank is virtually useless.

isn't this the case for Unarmed Combat? The instructors are obviously not officers, but the PCs have to attend the lesson also.

kopiosatu SG

if you're an OCT, you're an OCT. Officer Cadet Trainee.

Trainees will have no rank irregardless if you're a PTE or MAJ. if you get what I mean

Shotgun SG

The only thing an OCT is bigger than is a recruit. Thats all… Wait before u pass out from OCS before trying to play rank with ur friends who went sispec lar. Right now they will just laugh at ur white stripes.

Icemoon SG

Hmm .. those in SISPEC also trainee what .. so they have no rank also?

tarutaru SG

Got PTE..

Icemoon SG

yah .. but aren't OCT privates also? Anyone who passes out of BMT is a private.

since both are trainees and aiming to get higher rank after the course (CPL after BSLC for SISPEC 'trainees') .. why OCT no rank but SISPEC 'trainees' have rank?

oct course is different, all wear that white stripes. you do not see any other rank there, not even private.

you can be any NON com. rank, you are not allowed to wear any rank until you are out of the course period including book out.. when passed out you wear the officer rank.

Icemoon SG

even CST also not supposed to have rank.

I heard even airborne training also cannot have rank .. at least in the US?

maggot SG

OCT Cool

Phase 3 OOC = 3SG

Phase 2 OOC = CPL

Phase 1 OOC = LCP

This information if outdated please correct me.

Last time used to do IDS duties...but must treat OCTs with respect since most of them will pass out as officers Laughing

Aikes last time i scolded an OCT for smoking in the toilet...when he attended course in my camp...i even use the word WTF at him.... Laughing
