Well if we're gonna get right down to it on the ranks I would like to see "SERJEANT" and "COLOUR SERJEANT".
No its not a mispell its how its spelt in the Light DIvision.
Maybe we could have our ranks in Yellow with a rifle green backing?
I think we should just stick to the standard ranks of the Brit army from Pte, L/CPL etc upto and including Field marshall.

Even after 25 years in the Regular British Army some of the coments/suggestions have me confused!

The basic difference is between the rank and the appointment.

A Warrant Officer class 2 could be titled one of many including a Company Sergeant Major, a Battery Sergeant Major or a Regimental Quarter Master Sergeant dependant on either the regiment or the job he or in these enlightened days, she was performing.

Let's keep it simple and not overcomplicate the issue. Stick to the ranks and forget the appointments.

And as a final point there are only two Warrant (appointed by Parliment) Ranks. Warrant Officer first class and second class. Don't know how the third class crept in!

Some time ex Hereford holligan!

as far as I'm allowed to say anything about this matter at all, I fully agree with the statement above ! Keep It Simple

Yeah...keep it simple.....just make me the Clan Chief.

Hi there

I agree, let's keep it simple.

I can understand everyone getting excited, and all wanting ranks from their former (or favourite) branch of the services, but if we make this too complicated we'll end up being the last one's to get national ranks...

If other Brits are confused, think how Jim must feel trying to make sense of all this.

All the best

Posted this in the wrong thread earlier so if you already seen this , accept my apologies..

Heres my suggestion for British Ranks, keeping it simple and moving the ranks upto the required ten......
