In debating this question it may perhaps, be worthwhile to consider why the armed forces need a division between commissioned and non-commissioned or enlisted personnel, and what the required characteristics of each division may be.
Civilian organizations don't need the division, one joins at the bottom and works up (and occasionally down) without clear dividing lines between what characteristics divide managers from staff. Civilian organizations do not have NCOs. Yet the military certainly do need the division. Why? You've been through IOT and the College so you have the tools at hand to work it out for yourselves.
