For those who haven't seen the acronym RHIP, it stands for Rank Has It's Privileges.
I wanted to start a discussion regarding the differences between the elements when certain items are "dished out". For example, in my Army days in West Germany, when we returned to Hohenfels after a couple of weeks in the field, there were always a tonne of line ups like Showers, Food & Pay to name a few. Anyways, we always formed up in single line with the Privates at the front of the line and the Company OC at the rear. If they ran out of water, food or cash, then the senior COC would do without. Makes pure sense to me to have the troops who break their backs get taken care of first.
Since my time in the Navy, I've noticed that in the Navy this normally is completely reversed. For example, trials were ongoing and the ship was able to allow 20-30 personnel go for early. It turned out that the only personnel to be able to go were Officers and Snr NCO's. Personally I agree with the Army way of doing business.
What are your thoughts?
