Short for "probationer". A rookie doing "on the job training" under a supervisor and being assessed before confirmation to a permanent position.

The term is used in NCIS by a particularly dislikeable bloke to disparage a junior who appears to be a permanent probie despite several years in his "new" job. A bit like Bart Simpson being permanently 8 years old.

My guess-from-context was thus right for once.

Er, you're confusing Bart with Lisa. 😛 Bart is 10...
