Following the comments above and the absence of any response, I have re-written the page. I think the page should stay as OF(D) appears in the NATO rank scale and I have made this the key point of the article. I have stated that the rank does not exist in the
British Army or RAF (if someone wants
304:
Cleaning up some other articles I came back to this one. the UK doesn't use the term anymore after re-organizing its rank structure (hence the dead links) & there are no other references prior to 2006 on the NATO website and those references are all to the UK. I left in the 2006 reference and
274:
I also find it kind of weird the UK document refers to
Midshipmen as OF(D) when they are actually OF-1 in the NATO documentation, and the Royal Air Force doesn't have any information about the uniform an Officer Designate wears. According to the documents I've seen, you start as an Officer Cadet
201:
Can the author cite an authority for the statement that the OD rank exisits in the Royal Air Force and
British Army? As a serving junior officer in the Royal Air Force, I have never encountered this rank. My knowledge of the British Army is less thorough, but again, I would be surprised to
256:
I have some concern that the information on OF(D)s in other countries might be incorrect, given the errors we've seen. However, I have not changed the substance of the information (only the grammar) as I just don't know. Can anyone confirm that the information is indeed correct?

I served for 10 years in the Army and have never heard of this rank. I suggest that this page is erroneous and be deleted - unless someone (the author possibly??) can provide evidence that it is a real rank.
289:
I found a different DASA document with Acting Pilot
Officer, which makes more sense. This article still needs a reference which actually defines the 'D' in OF(D) to mean Designate.

I would suggest that the
British Army equivalent of OD would be Potential Officer, the white stripe insignia currently displayed as Student Officer at the Officer Ranks page

the greek reference which I have no idea if its correct. I think this term is used by other non-english armed forces so maybe the article can be expanded.

Quaere whether this actually exists in the
British Army and RAF. Who exactly has this rank? What rank insignia do they wear?
275:
with the substantive rank of Acting Pilot
Officer, which contradicts the Ministry of Defense Document in the references.
237:
In my mind this is logical, as a potential officer would be designated as an officer but prior to being commissioned.--

271:
The article now has a few examples of the rank of
Officer Designate, and a UK document with the abbreviation OF(D).
