Air Chief Marshal FranK Miller – A CIVILIAN AND Military LEADER by Ray Stouffer Introduction that such an exercise has not been undertaken previously says much about the lack of scholarly interest in the Cold War n Thursday, 28 April 1960, the Ottawa Citizen RCAF generally, and the dearth of biographies of senior wrote that Frank Miller, the former air marshal, Canadian airmen specifically. As remarkable as Miller’s career and, more recently, the Deputy Minister (DM) was is the fact that it is today largely unknown and therefore of National Defence, had become the unappreciated. Comprehending Miller’s military and civilian Diefenbaker Government’s choice as Chairman service not only explains why he was selected as Chairman of ofO the Chiefs of Staff Committee (COSC), replacing General the COSC, it also addresses the larger question of military Charles Foulkes.

  • Military Rank Equivalency
    Military rank equivalency Although GS civilians do not have military rank by virtue of their GS position, regulations include civilian and military grade equivalencies for pay and protocol comparison purposes. Military rank or civilian grade often have no bearing on supervisory precedence—generally, precedence and authority are guided by situational expertise. For example, a GS-9 is considered comparable to a first lieutenant or lieutenant (junior grade) (O-2), while a GS-15 (top of the General Schedule) is the equivalent grade of a colonel or captain (O-6). Senior Executive Service (SES) and Senior Level grades correspond for protocol purposes to flag and general officers (admirals and generals). Grade equivalencies were created by the U.S. Department of Defense for the purpose of treating civilians serving alongside the Armed Forces who have been captured as prisoners of war according to the Geneva Convention.[6] Geneva Convention Category GS MILITARY Senior Executive V: General Officer O-7 through O-10 Service GS-15 O-6 IV: Field Grade Officer GS-14/GS-13 O-5 GS-12 O-4 O-3 GS-11/GS-10 O-2 and W-4/W- III: Company Grade Officer GS-9/GS-8 3 GS-7 O-1 and W-2/W- 1 II: Non-commissioned Officer/Staff Non-Comissioned GS-6 E-7 through E-9 Officer GS-5 E-6/E-5 GS-4 E-4 I: Enlisted GS-1 through GS-3 E-1 through E-3 Grade equivalencies have also been issued by the U.S. Department of State for other purposes, such as assignment of permanent and transient housing to eligible civilian employees.

  • Chapter 2 - Saluting
    CHAPTER 2 - SALUTING REASON FOR SALUTING 1. Saluting is a recognition of the Sovereign's Commission, being indirectly a salute to the Crown through the individual holding The Queen's authority. Returning a salute is not an acknowledgement of a salute to the officer personally, but is a recognition of the fact that through that officer an outward sign of loyalty to the Crown and Service has been acknowledged. 2. Saluting is important and it is the responsibility of all officers to see that saluting is carried out. 3. Personnel are to salute with the right hand unless physically unable to do so, in which case they are to salute with the left hand (see Para 6 for the exceptions). SALUTING BY NON-COMMISSIONED PERSONNEL 4. Personnel are to salute commissioned officers (see Annex B) of the RAF, the Royal Navy, the Royal Marines, the Army, Commonwealth and Foreign Services at all times, and at any time when they recognize officers who are dressed in plain clothes. 5. A person in passing an officer is to salute on the third pace before reaching him, at the same time turning the head smartly in the direction of the officer. The salute is to be finished on the third pace after passing the officer, by smartly lowering the hand to the side and turning the head to the front. 6. When the person is not wearing headdress or is carrying anything other than his weapon, which prevents his saluting, he is to turn his head smartly towards the officer being passed. If the person is stationary or seated he is to stand up to attention as the officer passes.
