Unlike the police force, in which all members from the COP to the newest constable are "officers", it is not so with the Defence Force which operates with a radically different rank structure. Not all Defence Force members are "officers". The proper term for most members is MARINE not officer. I would suggest the person arrested is not a Defence Force officer but rather a Defence Force marine. We all should be more aware of this, especially the press and the editors, so as not to make this mistake in nomenclature. In fact there are more marines than officers in the Defence Force.
