NCO and leadership

[Sapper Boots]

Hi All

As a former cut lunch commando (territorial) in the New Zealand army.
our lance jacks where guys who had been in so long they had to give it to them.
We once got marched from the back left around a corner straight into a wall,
in front of about 200 marching girls.
but all ranks up from there where there for the men. you had to earn there respect
but once you did you where fine.
the sgts saved us from many a over zealous officer eager to impress the major or such
the orders may come from up high but its the N.C.O's who know what each man is able to do not just look at them as a number
