Changes: Non-commissioned officer

Revision as of 18:26, 21 March 2015

A non-commissioned officer (also known as NCO or noncom) is an enlisted member of Starfleet or another military or service organization who has not attended officer training, but functions as a lower-ranking crewman with authority over other enlisted crewmen.

In Starfleet, anyone who is a petty officer (including specialists, yeomen, and technicians) is an NCO, as they are senior to the lower crewman rank. This includes the more senior NCOs, such as chiefs.

The abbreviation NCO was used in the script of TNG: "Descent, Part II". [1] The abbreviation noncom was used in the episode DS9: "Hippocratic Oath" [2]

-'''Non-Commissioned Officers''', also known as NCO or "Non-Comm" are enlisted crewmembers of [[Starfleet]] who have not attended [[Starfleet Academy]], but function within the organization of Starfleet as lower-ranking crew. Thus, without an Academy education, they do not hold a Commission from Starfleet.  An example of this is Chief [[Miles O'Brien]] from [[TNG]]/[[DS9]] who was a [[Chief Petty Officer]].
