GO!!! said:I suspect that as the education/qualification/pay gap continues to close between officers and NCMs, statements like the one above will soon be just as laughable as the one in reference to an officer "guiding the thinking of his men as a professional responsibility" from the Cold War. There is very little room left today for such elitist speech or attitudes.
cdnaviator said:GO!!!,
agreed. I was amazed that this attitude was offcial CF thinking as it is directly taught to officers coming through the OPME program.
Zertz said:I'm definately a military newbie so I suppose my opinion doesn't really matter that much, but why not give it a go.
Officers have far more important things to do than clean the mess and the shitter. When it comes to things like food and kit, sure equal treatment is in order, but look at the whole picture.
I'd much rather my superiors worried about the big stuff than having to be concerned with the small and menial details.
Good2Golf said:+1 to what cdnaviator said, Zertz. You will come to understand this in due course...
As others have noted elsewhere, NCMs are Professionals in what they practice, Officers in what they do. (or both should be in their respective duties).
More importantly, professional officers should be thinking about the prioritization of their efforts:
1. The Mission
2. The Men
3. Myself

Sometimes, the Signaller, Driver, and Wpns Det Comd have to lay out the Officer's sleeping bag, cook his meal, grip him by the scruff, and force him to eat then sleep.
