Junior commissioned officer (JCO) is a term describing a group of military ranks found in the Indian Army, Pakistan Army, Bangladesh Army and Nepal Army. Those soldiers holding JCO rank receive a commission from the President,
During British rule, these officers were known as viceroy's commissioned officers (VCOs) except in Nepal, which was never a British colony. Under the British, there was a clear colonial context, the VCOs being the highest rank that most Indians could achieve while most full commissioned officers were British - a distinction which disappeared with Indian independence.
Senior non-commissioned officers are promoted to JCO rank on the basis of merit and seniority, restricted by the number of vacancies. Junior commissioned officers are treated as a separate class, and hold many additional privileges. In the army, they have a separate mess (the JCOs' mess) / (the CPOs mess) / (the WOs mess), get well furnished family quarters, and are authorized to travel in AC II tier on the railways / Economy class in Airlines. With good pay and privileges, it is an ambition of most enlisted men to attain such rank.
JCOs often serve as platoon leaders in an infantry company, with a major as company commander and a captain as second-in-command.
Due to their long years of service, officers accord JCOs great respect and influence, especially in cases involving the enlisted ranks, their welfare and morale. Another custom religiously followed is that a JCO is never addressed using just his name or rank. The word saheb (master) is added as a suffix (e.g.: subedar saheb or <

- Warrant officer
- Junior warrant officer / Assistant warrant officer
While the army JCOs receive a commission from the president, naval chief petty officer ranks and the air force warrant officer ranks receive a president warrant on promotion to the rank of chief petty officer and Junior Warrant Officer respectively. This is a certificate issued by the Commodore Bureau of Sailors or Air Marshal / AVM on behalf of the president of India / Pakistan to authenticate the promotion of a sailor to the chief rank, an air warrior to warrant rank as the CPO, MCPO II / FCPO, MCPO I / MCPO, JWO / AWO, WO, MWO / CWO ranks are classed as Junior Commissioned ranks.

What is the british army policy on soldiers with HIV?
HM Forces does not yet 'blanket' screen people from the UK for HIV status. The Army has made it a policy of offering voluntary HIV, Hepatitis & syphilis investigation to those commonwealth recuits who are joining from African nations & areas that are know to be endemic with HIV infection. However, this is by no way compulsory. I personally, as an Australian Commonwealth recruit in 2004, was never offered a HIV test. I would agree with the original poster.... HM Forces would benefit in re-thinking this policy in regards to it's recruitment of ALL personnel into the Forces.

What is the highest rank of the british peerage?
Baron
It should be noted also that:
In Scotland, a Baron is called a Lord of Parliament
There are five categories of British peerage and they have a hierarchy themselves:
1. Peerage of England
2. Peerage of Scotland
3. Peerage of Ireland
4. Peerage of Great Britain
5. Peerage of United Kingdom
Also peerages are ranked based on creation date.
Therefore a Baron of the United Kingdom is a lower grade than a Baron of England, and the lower of two Baronies of the United Kingdom would be the one created most recently.
Hope that edit helps!
