Rank confusion

[dartford]

Can someone clarify the rank structure in Australia. Apparently a WO2 is equivalent to a CPO in the RAN and a Flight Sergeant in the RAAF, and all three are senior to a Staff Sergeant. Does that mean that CPOs and FSgts are warrant officers down under.

Bit confusing.

Wrong place for this bud!

A CPO, WO2 and FSGT are equivalent Ranks.

There is no Navy or Air Force equivalent Rank to an Army Staff Sergeant.

There is also no equivalent Navy or Air Force Rank to an Army Lance Corporal.

The RN now have a CPO, WO2, and WO1... all they need is C3PO and they can make a new Star Wars filum!

Sorry folks, you're losing me here, I thought the Topic was the clarification of the Rank Structure in the Australian Defence Forces?

Why is this topic on the Royal Marines thread in that case?
