[edit] Modern day definition of billet

To me, the term "billet" as described in this article is most used in a civilian setting - say a school student or a member of a club - not just a military person. There isn't any mention of this in the article, which makes me wonder if other terms are used for this definition that I am not aware of? -- Chuq 10:13, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

I also agree. The term billet can be likened to a landparent. For example, junior hockey players living away from while part of a hockey program. Flibirigit 05:22, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
