Imagine, foreign troops wondering what's a ME. "You mean Maggi Mee?"

They should just call these guys, JEDI.
Easier that way for foreign forces to recognise them.

Jedi(Jedi warriors) is already taken.

Why they want to designate all the high-sounding and bombastic job titles to impress others while the job scope remains the same ? All LPPL.

ME (Military Expert)=Specialist Trainer/Instructor=SNCO.
Warehouse Specialist=Storeman
Transport Specialist=Driver
Corporate Relations and Media Manager=PRO
Emeritus SM =MP
Financial and Wealth Planner=Insurance Agent

Military Medical Expert ME4 Kelly Foo......Besides graduating from the MOCC with the Top Knowledge award, she also recently assumed the appointment of Chief Warrant Officer in the Navy Medical Service.

Military Expert 4=Chief W0 or SNCO as Bro Batman1 explained above.
So they are not Commissioned Officers but still given swords during the ceremony.

Do the Military Experts still have to salute to all these young punk 20years old 2nd Lt who just passed out with one pip?

Godfather of a ME is MM.

And WHY the soldiers have their ranks on their ties ?
