What is the deal with NRPS WO/SNCO's for Mess Bills. The unit is a lodger unit in a Regular Camp.

I would assume you pay them, do you attend Mess Meetings/functions?

 

[Greenbadger]

Per QR's SNCO/WO's don't have to belong to a Mess, only officers do. If you elect to join a mess you can only be a member of one mess. I suppose if you attend the odd do then you could pay up as a guest

I think you'll find you're wrong there, but I stand to be corrected. QR's reference please?
