Talk:Australian Army officer rank insignia

message: The rank pictures are not shown in the NATO rank format as shown for the British Army and United States Army because Australia is not a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. Although Australia follows many of its conventions, it is not a member.
:But do Australians really use US rank/pay codes? It could make sense from an international pov to specify NATO codes if Aus has no official system in place. 202.89.155.188 08:24, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

message: "Unlike the British Army, no rank of Field Marshal exists within the Australian Army". Since Prince Philip is still alive and holds the rank, how can this be true? -- Necrothesp 03:59, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: In which country? In Britain it only became a wartime only rank in the 1990s, and it can still be granted to members of the Royal Family and (exceptionally) to other senior officers in peacetime. Existing FMs can continue to hold the rank, naturally. Only three Australian Field Marshals have ever been created, none of them in wartime, Prince Philip being the most recent. -- Necrothesp 23:26, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Perhaps, this article should include a description and derivation of the pips, crowns and the other symbol seen on the general insigniae - does anyone know the history? Danlibbo 23:42, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

message: A great example of Betacommandbot gone mad - tagging all the images of the rank insignia so that an admin has deleted them. The article has now lost all effect and usefulness. We have to reign in this idiot as wikipedia is being damaged by his actions.Krait (talk) 05:21, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Sergeant Major and Officer cadet ain't in itSSJJ TSSJJ 01:29, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, GTA No. 1 fan. To my knowledge, Sergeant Major wouldn't be in it because it is not a rank, but an appointment filled by WO1s and WO2s (neither of which are "commissioned" officers, instead they are officers by "warrant"). Officer Cadet, however, should be included as it is a rank, one which an officer holds prior to commissioning (i.e. while at ADFA or RMC-D). — AustralianRupert (talk) 14:01, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
