: I posted a discussion entry expressing reservations with this but I think it's correct: "Naval Aviation" for AN and "Pilot" for PA.

Thanks Helena. //I might add that you deserve the credit for at the very least deciphering the letters and feel that I should be the one to remove my reference, albeit the intention was just that (a reference!).

Thanks Charles and thank you for your excellent research and explanation. It may well be worth entering your well researched info into the glossary for future reference. // It may be useful for you to enter your own answer for completeness! Un abrazo.

Discussion
One sort corresponds to a branch of the service or "cuerpo". These are Cuerpo General (CG), Infantería de Marina (IM), and Aeronáutica Naval (AN). So that's the first of our two.
Secondly there are the "servicios", which include, for example Administración e Intendencia Naval (AIN) or Sanidad Naval (SN): some eleven in all.
The third kind is a professional specialism within the service. These include Ingeniero Mecánico Naval (IMN), for example. PA (piloto aviador) is another of these.
Finally, there is DEM (Diplomado de Estado Mayor) or DEMN (Diplomado de Estado Mayor Naval), advanced qualifications taken by those destined for high rank.
In the Navy, if you're a PA you must presumably be in the AN, but of course in the Air Force you can be PA without being AN.
