  • The task is a bit too complex, don't think we could grasp it in a 2 year tour

  • The rest of the Army operate like this, why should we be any different?

  • There is something to be said for having yr own Q Bloke. North Face clones might be right for once?

    1 5.26%
  • Filling a Q slot is seen as a prerequisite for promotion by most of the rest of the Army. They also expect the Q to deputise for RSM / CSM and are a bit puzzled by our blank looks

  • We are far too busy and too important to take on this menial task

    Then I presume nobody would like the RSM spot - with all that boring admin work and all.

    I wouldn't think anyone actually wants to do a Q job but for us it was the next step up.
    Coaching done, training done - now she's just got to go out and do it. Brighton Marathon off you go.

    Success is never final and failure never fatal. It's courage that counts.

    I can't really comment on other branches of the army, but Intelligence Corps RSMs certainly don't do boring admin work. Unless by boring admin work you mean managing the careers of the other soldiers in the Bn. If this is the case, then I pity anyone that has you above them in their chain of command.

    Badly put by me - but the gist is that there are times when we all have to do a job we didn't join up to do and for some appointments are a means to an end. Didn't recieve a job description when I joined up - how things have changed.

    Don't worry about those under me - there are none anymore. Finished my 22 and enjoyed it - less those jobs I didn't join up for?

    perhaps an RSM would like to comment on this rather controversial comment? is it all james bond excitement?
