No MK a PO is equivelant to a RAF or Army Sgt.
The Navy equivilant to a Aircraftsman is an Ordinary or Able Rate

Redman, that table is wrong mate, sorry

Comparative officer ranks are fairly straightforward. With NCO and other ranks it is more complicated as there are often no equivalent ranks across all three services. For example the lowest NCO rank in the RN is Petty Officer, in the RAF Corporal (no RN equivalent) and in the Army Lance-corporal (no RN or RAF equivalent).

phew, its sorted, because they thought most of the bookwork i hadn't done was general knowledge and other stuff i should have picked up, i did almost all of the test, the commanding officer (whose also the drill instructor) just has to pass me off on my drill, and i have to do about one or two more things, but the msot important thing, which i did worst on, for my cadet to ordinary test, rates and ranks, i passed, thanks guys.
