NCR? Is that another new term?

Non Commissioned Ranks, not a new term, it seems to have been around for years.

I recall being rostered for "Duty NCO". Non Commissioned Officer as a Sgt, and F/Sgt.

Yes, it was always Non Commissioned Officer, or NCO.
Non Commissioned Ranks sounds like a misnomer, that would include AC's and LAC's as well and Cpl and above, as they all have not been commissioned.

Previously you had SNCOs, W/Os and Other Ranks. NCR is a catch all and rather simpler to write. Also I recall some statement that 'Other Ranks' was a bit negative, or insulting or something so was done away with. We still use the term Junior Ranks for AC-CPL where appropriate. |
