This is all done discreetly and NEVER overtly... meaning after said 2nd Lt. has made a *not-so-wise* decision, his Plt. Sgt., in private *suggest* the young officer *may* have erred, and suggest possible alternatives to said erroneous decision. a 1st Lt is a wee bit smarter and a Captain should now know the ropes and be a leader his NCO's will follow into hell if necessary. |

Depending on the reserve unit and situation. I can see the filtering of orders being a good idea. Reserve officers have extremely little experience and a receive a lower level of training
And end up with very experienced NCOs coming From the regular who have transfered to the reserves. From my limited observations some reserve officers are rank obsessed "I am the officer therefore my idea is superior" regardless of the fact SNCOs have BTDT in operations . They also have a tendency to micro manage where they try and do am NCOs job aswell as their own subsequently failing at both. Picture a poorly trained twenty something try inventing the wheel telling people how to do something job they were doing before he was born rather than doing his job and actually leading. But I haven't met many and I am sure there many many good ones. The australian army reserves in some units are so while new world. .... thankfully you don't get this problem in the ARA. You still get some twits who assume because you chose to Be a soldier you are stupid. Even though you had been formally accepted to undergo officer training but turned it down. But I suppose it works for their benifet confidance in their abilities and decisions would be vital |
