PATRIOT’S ARMY – NON COMMISSIONED OFFICERS 1.1

Welcome to Patriot's Army Commissioned Officers, this will be your 2nd stop after completing Patriot's Army Boot Camp, get ready to take on a whole new role, higher ranks, more responsibility. Continue on and move forward with the only online family formed to unite Patriot's from around the world, be ready to take the fight to people who are abusing the online community, our friends, our family & our loved ones!

PATRIOT’S ARMY Non-Commissioned Officers (E-4 to E-6) like nearly all the other branches of the Patriot's Army. The Patriot's Army consider all ranks E-4 and above to be NCOs. Corporals (E-4) are referred to as junior NCOs, however, they are given the same respect as any other NCO.

5)      Your 1st set up in the PATRIOT’S ARMY Commissioned Officers & obtain the rank of Corporal (E-4). Along with the rank of sergeant, the corporal is the only rank which has never disappeared from the NCO Corps. The rank of corporal has always been placed at the base of the NCO ranks. For the most part, corporals have served as the smallest unit leaders in the Army: principally, leaders of teams. Like the grade of sergeant, corporals are responsible for individual training, locating a target and the reporting of possible targets in the PATRIOT’S ARMY REPORTING GROUP. As the command sergeant major is known as the epitome of success in the NCO Corps, the corporal is the beginning of the NCO Corps. As the NCO Corps is known as the backbone of the Army, the corporal is the backbone of the NCO Corps. Information Courtesy of the PATRIOT’S ARMY. (Your time in this stage will last 5 months total from the start of training, with a 2 month ratio of locating a target, reporting the target, and a kill ratio of 10 Enemy Eliminations).

6)      Your 2nd move forward will be Sergeant (E-5) Sergeants (SGT) operate in an environment where the sparks fly - where the axe meets the stone. Although not the lowest level of rank where command is exercised, this level is the first at which enlisted soldiers are referred to as sergeant, and of all the grades of the NCO, this one, very possibly, has the greatest impact on the lower ranking soldiers. Privates, who are the basic manpower strength and grade of the PATRIOT’S ARMY, generally have sergeants as their first NCO leader. It is the grade sergeant that the privates will look to for example. (Your time in this stage will last 7 months total from the start of training, with a 2 month ratio of locating a target, reporting the target, and a kill ratio of 10 Enemy Eliminations).

7)      Your 3rd move forward will be Staff Sergeant (SSG), responsible for the individual training, personal conversations and the abilities of their soldiers. The sergeant is also responsible for insuring that each member of their unit is trained to competency in said prescribed in the appropriate PATRIOT’S ARMY training. While on duty status, they be ready at all times to report to the location and activity of all members of their unit. Their unit is trained to function in its primary mission role. The authority of the sergeant is equal to that of any other grade or rank of the PATRIOT’S ARMY Professionally competent leaders inherently command respect for their authority and the sergeant must be unquestionably competent in order to carry out the mission correctly, accomplish each task and care for assigned team members. The rank of sergeant is not a position for learning how to become a leader, no apprenticeship here. While certainly the new sergeant will be developing new skills, strengthening old ones and generally getting better, he is a sergeant!!! And is therefore, no less a professional than those grades of rank to follow. (Your time in this stage will last 9 months total from the start of training, with a 2 month ratio of locating a target, reporting the target, and a kill ratio of 10 Enemy Eliminations).

(ADDITIONAL RANKING INFORMATION)

Moving up the PARTIOT ARMY ranks: Unlike the promotion processes for Privates, Specialists, and Corporals, promotions to Sergeant (SGT) and Staff Sergeant (SSG) is based on a PATRIOT’S ARMY - wide competition. The competition is based on a point system which grants points for locating new targets, performance evaluations, training abilities, awards and promotion board ranking.

8)      Your 4th move forward will be Staff Sergeant (E-6) The Staff Sergeant rank closely parallels that of the sergeant in duties and responsibilities. In fact, the basic duties and responsibility of all the NCO ranks never change, but there are significant differences between this step in the NCO structure and the preceding one. The major difference between the staff sergeant and the sergeant is not, as often mistakenly believed, authority, but rather sphere of influence. The staff sergeant is in daily contact with large numbers of Patriot's Army, and generally has more members and other additional assistance and training to maintain. The SSG often has one or more sergeants who work under their direct leadership. The SSG is responsible for the continued successful development of sergeants as well as the soldiers in their section, squad or team. (Your time in this stage will last 11 months total from the start of training, with a 2 month ratio of locating a target, reporting the target, and a kill ratio of 10 Enemy Eliminations).

Moving up the PATRIOT’S ARMY: SSG candidates must meet the following basic eligibility criteria to compete:

A) Command Recommendation.

B) 10 Month Time in service.

C) Ability to manage, train and educate, and fulfill missions.

9)       Your 5th move forward will be Army Ranks: Senior Non-Commissioned Officers (Sergeant Major (E-7 to E-9) Although the Army does not make the official distinction in the rank structure, enlisted ranks of Sergeant First Class and above (E-7 – E-9) are generally referred to as Senior NCOs and they carry increasing levels of responsibility and demand greater levels of respect and deference. The SNCO ranks actually cover six separate ranks or designations – Sergeant First Class (Platoon Sergeant), Master Sergeant, First Sergeant, Sergeant Major, Command Sergeant Major, and the Sergeant Major of the Army.

These promotions are completely centralized at the Head Quarters of the Department of the PATRIOT’S ARMY (HQDA). There is no minimum time-in-grade (TIG) requirement for promotion to the Army SNCO ranks, but candidates must meet the following minimum time-in-service (TIS) requirements to be eligible for promotion: (Your time in this stage will last 14 months total from the start of training, with a 2 month ratio of locating a target, reporting the target, and a kill ratio of 10 Enemy Eliminations).)
