? officer?
Yes i think so. Norwegian Navy ranks do not follow US ranks step by step so cant be compared directly. Its the closest one.
-edit- OF-1 is perhaps a british rank. My rank would prolly be somewere between Ensign and Lieutenant, Junior Grade in the US Navy.
Anywho.. long time ago.

You definitely aren't the bottom of the ladder Private.
The lowest enlisted man is above me on the scale, as far as I'm concerned.
I'm Army .. .civilian :).
Looking to try to get a commission in the NG, but I'm married now and getting older so they probably wouldn't want me. Plus my wife gets a veto.
Guess I should've done it when I was a kid.

Lotta states have SDF's--somewhat the NG auxiliary---they mostly concentrate on FEMA-type events, comprised mostly of retired NCO's, from what I've seen, nice bunch of folks

They are Barbary apes and according to tradition when they leave the British will leave Gib. It was still a closed border when I was there but it did get a little troublesome during the Falklands war, they worried about the possibility of some Spanish troops deciding to help out the Argentinians by attacking Gib. They thought it possible because a lot of the Fleet was already in Gib when it was decided to send them down south.

Kind of hard to read your post, but I think what you are talking about is the amount of time they have in the servie, one stripe I think is 5 years.

LOL no this is what im talking about dont try to tell people who been in military longer whats it about and stuff. there are actually gold stripes and silver stripes you get the silver one 6 months after you enter ocs, two bars is captain(bars not strips) this is within first 3 years, after that its all about how where your at and what jobs you take, officer isnt the way to go bud enlisted runs the army officers just do paperwork

This is my sincere reply to your post. You shouldn't emphasise a request of what a man's colar devices are. Doesn't really matter. No one who's been there cares what ensignea adorne's a man's collar when tac-ord is flying, in the air, on the ground, or under the sea....men know who the leaders are...

first lieutenant,

Im a active duty sailor. Or saildeer in my current deployment. AEAN is my full title. AE stand for aviation electricians mate. And AN is for airmen (E-3). For those of you who dont know E-3 and below in the Navy your rank is different depending on your MOS, rate, or job depending on what branch your from. Aviation rates start off as Airmen recruit (E-1). Then Airmen Apprentice (E-2). And then Airmen (E-3). The most common name for sailors is Seman. They start off as Seaman recruit, then Seaman Apprentice, then Seamen. The stripes E-3 and below wear are also different. My three stripes are green, Seaman stripes are blue/black, Constructionmen (SeaBees) are blue, and Firemen are red. At E-4 the cool names and colors go away and you become a petty officer 3rd class. The insignia is a crow with one chevron. The chevron is either red or black depending on the uniform. Im currently a saildeer because Im a mix of Navy and Army. Im in afghanistan doing a job that has nothing to do with my real Navy rate and Im working for the Army.
Apologize for brief history lesson. But Im so tired of explaining to the Army that I wear their ACU uniform, Have green stripes because I work on aircraft, and Im in the Navy. Our E-4s are saluted quite a bit by the Army side because our E4 insignia looks very similar to their Colonel's insignia.

officer isnt the way to go bud enlisted runs the army officers just do paperwork
This sounds like a sore statement from someone who didn't make it to OCS...

I made it all the way up to Sargent, then turned around and went the other way.
Got transferred from a line unit to a training unit, requested reassignment to a line
unit, was denied, developed one serious attitude.

Oh ok, so now I should risk my life, to get payed less, when I can do paperwork, and make more money.
Your right, being enlisted sounds great, as a matter a fact, I should enlist now.
I have no problem when it comes to enlisted people, in fact, if I don't get to college then I will probably enlist with my Chaplets letter. I'll probably get involved with some sort of aviation (of course) and go to college later. If I do go to college however, Then great, I'm going to be an officer, that's what I realy want. The only time I don't like enlisted is when they try and tell you that being enlisted is the way to go, but it really isn't. If you think about the long run, after your carrer in the service, what are you looking to do once you get out? is there any jobs, other than blackwater, that you can get for infantry? Or, as an officer, who does those paper work jobs, gets to go out of the service, are there any jobs for paperwork? Think about the long run.
Oh, and what I was talking about your post. Your post are worse than mine to comprehend, and that's saying somthing.

Bosco was talking about service stripes I think not collar devices, Junky.
And I echo Smeddd's response.

So let me get this straight, you are talking down the NCO Corps and yet you have listed "Cadet (some other jibberish) of the Civilian Air Patrol" :lol
Ok there John Wayne, were the Girl Scouts full or do you have an aversion to Cookies?
Let's set the record straight SGT's made up a large part of Marine Aviation in WW2. NCO's currently are the only ones who pilot LCAC's and trust me in Wartime aviators are always pulled from the NCO ranks.
I realize that being a CAP member you essentially are a quasi-military member of what boils down to the A/V Club in High School so, your knowledge is somewhat skewed by wanna-be's and hacks.
If you ever want to be in the real Military you better learn damn fast that it is run by Senior NCO's.
I read you post on possibly going to the Yard and wish you the best. However, keep an attitude like that and you won't make it through Plebe Summer or a Fleet Returnee to the Yard will set you straight in the Bo'suns locker.

No, I am responding to a bitter statement that Enlisted is the ONLY way to go because officers suck. (Not his exact words, but the sentiment emparted). I did NOT speak ill of all NCOs, nor of the concept of the NCO, whereas Junky denounced ALL officers. (Not in the joking manner lowzx14 did, but seriously). Bosco and I are both interested in aviation. So, why in God's name would I ever go in enlisted (as per his advice)?!? Believe me, I know senior NCOs are the back-bone of the military, and by christ I respect them. I am saying to Junky, that he cannot denounce the officer corps entirely. So lets please look at the entire conversation instead of jumping into the middle, and running headlong into the wrong conclusion.

Not true, least unless you're talking about just the United States.
I had a patient that flew for Portugal as a Sgt both during and after WWII and got to fly many of the warbirds that got interned there. His pictures were incredible too...

We trained NCOs to fly as well, many guys were only promoted after they got their wings during WWII.
Germany had NCOs flying in combat until the end of the war as well.

We also demoted them at the end of the war. Everyone in my Grandfather's class was given the option at the end of the war to discharge or get dropped back down to Buck Private. (According to him).

Senior Airman, USAF.
I will jump in here on the discussion about upper level NCO's. My chief saved my butt, as well as our LT and others on many an occasion, especially "politically". The best advice I could give a new officer or recruit is listen to, and take care of your chief/gunny :)
I was lucky, my chief had enlisted in the Army Air Corps right after WWII, and was still very much "old school" in handling things. A lot of the trouble I got myself into was handled "off the books" Any of those types still around? I don't want to think about how many years it's been since I was in.
