Interesting trying to understand the logic. I have a vague hunch not enough
to bet any money on that the reasoning is thus: in the old days, before
MCpls, a Sergeant could elect not to be tried by his Commanding Officer and
could elect to go before a General Court Marshall. Thefore it could take a
GCM to "bust" a Sergeant well, one who was substantiated in rank we also
had Lance Sergeants no extra pay and Acting Sergeants with full pay and
of course as temps they could be required to revert to lower rank Cpl
usually, but sometimes back to Pte. As an "appointment" perhaps a MCpl
does not have the right that a Sgt and above had/has. Probably other
reasons, but this one comes to mind.
M. O‘Leary, are you able to receive this amongt all the chaff of late?
