Dear London,

Personnaly I think that it is like a French 'Adjudant' because he is a promoted Chief Master Sergeant in the Japanese system and has not an special entrance level like US Warrant Officers have. US ones are not promoted Sergeant Majors for instance.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Guest, London,

I think that a Japanese Warrant Officer is more the same as a French, Belgian and Dutch 'Adjudant' and in the US System compares to a Sergeant Major and not to a US Warrant Officer.

To make things clear: Privates, Recruits and others of these low ranks mostly do not wear/use/carry insignia at all. But I think it would be very practical to li...

Cuba, National Police, wrong operation

Dear,

I visited the Cuba website and found out that the National Police rankmarks are not showing up. Only there positions and ranknames are shown. I tried it on 2 different systems. I hope this message make of uniformrankinsignia an even better site.
