PBOR: Acronym coined by MoD

New PBOR accn at CMM

It would be interesting to Know as to who coined the Abbreviation PBOR. I retired in 1985 till the then it was Officers, JCOs and Jawans . Even a NCO is an officer in military parlance. The term, though bringing brevity in speech and writing, is hurting the feelings of JCOs and equivalent ranks of Air force and Navy and it is high time that we reverted back to the old system of classifying the service personnel..

The acronym PBOR has been coined by MoD and AHQ who have classified JCOs and NCOs as Personnel Below Officer Rank probably after the 5th Central Pay Commission recommendations were implemented. This is extension of degradation of the Armed Forces by bureaucrats and the AHQ staff have fallen prey to actively participate in reducing the "Rank and Honour" of the Armed Forces. Other possible definitions of PBOR:
Partial Bladder Outlet Reconstruction
Patients Bill of Rights
Programmable Brown Out Reset
Personnel Below Officers Rank
Pagan Bill of Rights
PhpBB Backup Offline Reader
Pittsburg Board of Realtors
