    All complaints to be sent to /dev/null

    It came off in me hand chief!

    If I had wanted to burn, collect sand in everything I own, overheat, run around, shoot things with something less than 4.5inch caliber, wear green/sand coloured baggy outfits, live more than 16m above Sea Level I would have joined the Army.

    Yarp, part of that was used, was looking for the 'peacetime' bits. Found now.

    Sorry, now in a different job, and didn't think to save it to my personal work space on DII. Try speaking to a Brigade Major for his ToRs, that's what I based it on!

    Or persuade any current COS to send you the front page of his OJAR (suitably embellished to reflect his chosen man status....)

    How’s about this for a starter, obviously there will be nuances for each different job and people can feel free to add as they see fit:
    · Principal staff officer in the HQ
    · Responsible for implementing the decisions of the commander
    · Directs, coordinates, prioritises and supervises all activities of the HQ staff and ensures that the best and most timely staff work is produced
    · Formulates and announces policies for the general operations of the staff, provides priorities, general guidance and advice to subordinates
    · Ensures that all published instructions are in accordance with in place policies
    · Directs such investigations as may be required within his field of responsibility
    Additional responsibilities
    · Legal authority held to sign of behalf of the commander
    · Budget authority held, what level and authority to sign off – limits etc
    · Authority to sign on behalf of the commander for LOAs, MOU, Purchasing contracts and employment contracts
    · Message release authority for matters affecting the HQ

    Not an exhaustive list by any means but something to build on taking in consideration advice on previous posts.
    Just because you may not be paranoid, doesn't mean they are not out to get you!
