Does a RSM has any disciplinary power over a PC in his unit?
-
Wrong. RSM is not No 2 man in the unit during wartime. Chain of command shall be follow during wartime, CO, S3, Support Coy OC, Riffle Coy OCs, PCs than RSM, CSMs, PL sgt.(S1, S4 & QM are not in as they will not be in the main body most of the time) RSM will not know the battle plan as much as the office as his duty is to maintain the unit discipline & organize task to respective NCO to ensure the unit is function.Originally posted by LazerLordz:Not too sure, but his appointment is definitely higher than a PC.The RSM is the Number 2 in the Unit during wartime conditions and he enforces the orders laid down by the CO.
During peacetime, his disciplinary scope might include everyone, i.e if he needs to charge a commissioned officer for committing a serious offence, he will do so by recommending it to the PSOs in the unit, if I'm not wrong.
Can anyone clarify? -

Let me rephrase myself, the RSM is the no.2 Disciplinary Officer in ops.He ensures the proper and efficient implementation of duties amongst the men.Originally posted by seachfun:Wrong.

Also i remembered during the last day of pop rehearsal, he said:
"All of you had done a good job and i feel proud, I LOVE U ALL!!" -
Frankly, he and COL Lo are icons in BMTC.I think they were placed there for the recruits to have some people "larger than life" to look up to.
Did you know COL Lo had a bounty placed on him when he was Military Advisor to the 97-98 UN team in Afghanistan?Yep. -
What's his surname? Could be one of my CSM before. I ROD 1994.Originally posted by Gordonator:my favourite RSM, 1WO Raymond. -
