Trainee Sergeant/Petty Officer
Explanation:
Na zvaničnom sajtu Vojske Srbije, http://www.vj.yu/eng/simboli/cinovi podoficira.htm , vodnik je sergeant ili petty officer, u zavisnosti od roda vojske.

Stažista ili pripravnik se još može prevesti pomoću reči "probationary", ali koliko vidim, čin Probationary Sergeant nije vojni, već policijski ili mornarički: www.westmercia.police.uk/foi/foi policies/personnel/Probati... www.policearbitration.on.ca/awards/pdf/04-002.pdf, http://www.stalbans-seacadets.org.uk/other/staff.htm)
