Had a few minutes reprieve so I thought I'd say "I knew That".
You forgot the most important guy in the Company the 1st Sgt..
We got a new Co. that was a "Ring Knocker" and he used to go
bananas with some of the Butter Bars etc in the BN.
What he did one day was to form up the Bn. and DISMISS all
Commissioned officers for 36 hours after he told them that in his
opinion he could run the Bn. With the NCOS and WITHOUT the
Officers and he did exactly that. When the 36 hours was up he
reminded the Commissioned Officers that they were ONLY PART
on the Bn.
Necessary but not needed.
There were a lot of long faces and bruised egos but he proved his point
