"The sergeant school (officer candidate school) is in reallity two years long.
One year at the school, and one year as a sergeant in a unit.
After one year as a sarge you automatically get promoted to second Lieutenant.
The are a few exceptions to this, but we don't consider sergeants to be NCOs."
Ok, but who acts in squad leader and other NCO tasks during wartime and in troops called up from reserve? You mean 2nd lieutenants are trained to act both as squad and platoon leader?
Sounds very different system than our's, like different rank systems and ranks themselves usually. In our system we have NCO school, reserve officer school and military academy, is kept quite simple.
