Junior Technician
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Junior Technician (Jnr Tech, JT or J/T) is a rank in the Royal Air Force, ranking between Senior Aircraftman and Corporal, with a NATO rank code of OR-2. It is only held by airmen in technical trades and by musicians. Airmen in non-technical trades progress directly from senior aircraftman to corporal. Junior technician is a pay grade and does not have a supervisory role. The rank was introduced in 1950 as part of a new grading system for technicians, wearing a single point up chevron. In 1964, when the grading system was abolished, JTs were retained, their badge changing to a four-bladed propeller.
In 2005, this rank was abolished in UK Law.No one will be able to attain this rank however those that hold it will continue to be at JT rank.
