Lo there all!

Firstly, hello! as I be new to this site, but as I'm enamoured of the stunning PTG's I thought I should join the forum

My question is quite simply: What are the ranks for the traffic chicks?

I've taken a fair few shots of them and they all seem to have varying tags on their shoulder boards, so I just wondered if it's based on Police rankings and the like

A few pictures of the beauties for you all

Hi SirThomas - thanks for registering. I like all those pictures you took in North Korea - as a plug, here's the link to your flickr page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tpeddle , quite a few nice ones of the lovely traffic ladies. ( I still want to know who kidnapped the little girl )

I have been meaning to research the ranks and add it to the PTG info topic, but procrastination rules with me. I'll get moving on it soon now. I think their shoulderboard rank is comparible to the NK army ones, but without as many in-between ranks. (there is no Brigadier General traffic rank for example...I think...).
Eric Martin (his flickr page HERE used to have a listing of NK ranks, along with lots of trafficgirl info, on his intermoumoute.com website, but it has gone offline for some reason. I have the info saved somewhere, I'll dig it out.
For now what we can see is that the PTG shoulderboard ranking progresses from 1 to 3 vertical bars, and then to the thick double horizontal bars with 1 to 3 stars.

More to come ...

Sit Thomas is a great photographer who gave me a number of pointers. I guess we will have to ask some questions on our next trip about the ranks. Looks like something worth checking into.
