Private [Proficient]
Regarding this edit: You're probably correct, BUT, the problem is, PACMAN doesn't say that. You need a reference to support that, and you haven't quoted one ...

Happy to help if I can ... Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 13:42, 11 May 2009 (UTC)


 * (Thanks for the latest additional information.)
 * Changing subject a little, what is the significance of the difference between [Private Proficient] and Private [Proficient]?
 * (FYI: I simply copied "[Private Proficient]" from the table in PACMAN Ch1. I haven't noticed the use of the term "Private [Proficient]".)

This whole topic has raised a lot of discussion since I was a soldier serving on HMAS Tobruk. The sailors saw they were the equal of LCPL yet the duty roster did not reflect this and they had problems with the fact I was promoted from PTE to CPL, skipping LCPL and after only 27 months in the Army. I intend to raise this matter up through the Army Chain of Command to clear up any uncertainty, particularly as Able Seaman now have a badge of 'rank'. In the Army we were always told that once we were PTE(P) (as PTE Proficient is written) we were the same as Leading Airman and Able Seaman. With much more joint operations occuring and men and women from different services serving under senior ranks from other services, this is probably an issue that needs to be formally resolved.

Australian War Memorial
I have no particular opinion either way on your issue, but the fact is that Wikipedia requires the citation of reliable sources for material to be included. If you've got the sources (newspaper articles? magazines? etc), then feel free to cite them and you won't get the slightest dispute; if it's just your opinion, then it's going to get fairly promptly removed from the article by the first person who catches it.
