Appeal to desist using the term PBOR

In recent times, the confusing divisive terminology PBOR has been put to usage; perhaps with connivance of the 'estabishment' (read bureaucracy).
Confusing because terms like JCOs= Junior COMMISSIONED officers and NCOs= Non Commissioned OFFICERS are excluded in this unauthorized terminology. Frankly, won't the PBOR (sic) ONLY include Sepoys and equivalents? That is not so in this term.
Divisive because it tends to in any case SUB- DIVIDE the well knitted family of the Services. By same logic we could in the future have 'Officers below General Rank' (OBGR) and 'Officers below Star Rank' *OBSR'!
It is suggested that we IMMEDIATELY CEASE usage of PBOR in our communications and CHECK EACH time, someone uses this. Let us consciously remove this Term in usage ANYWHERE- officially OR in casual conversation.
