I am translating a military report from Cuba and one of the military ranks is called: Primer Planchetista "S"
The only possible option that I've found is a "plotting board operator." Would this be the correct translation? Does anyone know?
My knowledge of military terms is quite limited.
Thanks in advance for your help!
