SP/4, though they tried numerous times to send me off to BNOC. I didn't want to go, and didn't. 11C1P. Long time ago, but not that far away.
Was BNOC a predecessor to PLDC??? BNCOC was for SGT (P). SPC (P) went to PLDC..
Basic NCO Course.
You had PNCOC (Primary Non-Commissioned Officer's Course), which was changed to PLDC (Primary Leadership Development Course) in the '80s. Then you went on to BNCOC (Basic Non-Commissioned Officers Course). Then for E7^ was ANCOC (Advanced Non-Commissioned Officers Course). I was an instructor for all three. Army 11B4H back then. Got my "H" designation to push basic trainees and after that they "used" my Hotel designation to their favor.
Got out for a few years. Went back AF (they knocked my rank down a bit) for another 19 1/2 years until they kicked me out as a Flight Chief in aircraft maintenance in a fighter unit. Was "fired" the day before my 60th B-day as I had reached max age. Completed 34 years, 11 months, 17 days... but who was counting, lol.
