Thanks Tolga
In Germany we have 6 non-NCO enlisted ranks ("Mannschaften"), ranging from Schütze (OR-1) to Oberstabsgefreiter (OR-4).
Schütze is recruit and OR-1, while Gefreiter is OR-2 which is Private in the US Army. Obergefreiter and Hauptgefreiter are both OR-3 (Private First Class) while Stabs- and Oberstabsgefreiter are both OR-4.
But there´s a difference between each rank, especially between Obergefreiter and Hauptgefreiter, since you need to be only 6 months in the army for OG but atleast 1 year in order to become HG. Pretty confusing system, compared to others, right? ^^
I´m doing "extended conscription". When I joined conscription was 9 months but you can extend your time up to 23 months, which I did. In order to become NCO you need to enlist for either 8 or 12 years, which is too much for me ^^
