CRE - Class Rating Examiner (A JAR-FCL term - not military)
TI - Tactics Instructor. What those who were neither QWIs nor QFIs at Tactical Weapons Units used to be termed.
PNTI - Person of No Tactical Importance. Term used to describe the desk sucking blotter jotters who are as grit in the smooth running of tactical operations. Known to the US as 'REMFs' or Rear Echelon Mother F*ckers!
