Aptitude Acronyms

Dear all,

As you are all undoubtedly aware, the military has an obsession with acronyms and although I can make sense of most, there are a few which most definately pass me by!

I was recently having a discussion with Professor Plum about our OASC Aptitude Test scores for each branch and there was an acronym which neither of us understood.

As I understand them: (there may be errors)

PLT = Pilot aptitude
WSO = Weapons System Operator aptitude
ATC = Air Traffic Controller aptitude
FC = Fighter Controller aptitude
INT = Intelligence aptitude

Both Professor Plum and myself scored between 120-145 on these aptitudes, however there was also a single-digit score next to the acronym 'CRB' and I have no idea what this represents. My CRB score was 5 and Professor Plum's was 8.

Does anybody know what CRB represents?

Also, being in the precarious position of having been 'Weakly Recommended' for IOT and awaiting a decision at the board's further discussion, secondly to pilot (my sole branch choice) which aptitudes do you think are best to have scored highly in to bolster my chances for selection?

All the best,
