      Flaminco is a name of dance form. Incidentally flamingoes also perform dance. Possibly leads to flaminco.

    Answer has been staring me in the face. Unnecessarily I have been linking the fighter with fire- just becayse it is a single word.
    Fire- Flame
    NCO- fighter- Non Commissioned officer
